900 SE Convertible V6-2498cc 2.5L DOHC (1995)
STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO FULL LOCK
Pump speed in this case is often low. When the steering wheel is turned to full lock the control valve of the steering gear closes. The flow of fluid from
the pump will then be zero.
The high pressure. thus arising is directed via the connecting passage to the spring loaded side of the control valve. The pressure opens the overflow
valve and allows the fluid to pass to the inlet side of the pump.
The pressure difference across the control valve forces it to move towards the spring and so open the port for recirculation of the full delivery flow
from the pump.
The predetermined maximum pressure is maintained as long as the control valve remains closed.
