Supra Liftback L6-2997cc 3.0L DOHC MFI Twin-Turbo (1997)
Power Steering Fluid: Testing and Inspection
1. Connect Special Service Tool (SST), as follows:
a. Disconnect the pressure feed tube from the power steering vane pump.
2JZ-GTE
b. Connect SST 09640 - 10010 (09641 - 01010, 09641 - 01030, 09641 - 01060) or equivalents, over a new gasket, as shown.
NOTICE: Check that the valve of the SST is in the open position.
2. Bleed power steering system.
3. Boost fluid temperature, as follows:
a. Start the engine and run it at idle.
b. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80° C (176° F).
4. Check fluid pressure reading with valve closed. With the engine idling, close the valve of the SST and observe the reading on the SST.
Minimum fluid pressure: 7,355 kPa (1,067 psi).
NOTICE:
^
Do not keep the valve closed for more than ten seconds.
^
Do not let the fluid temperature become too high.
5. Check fluid pressure reading with valve opened, as follows:
a. With the engine idling, open the valve fully.
b. Measure the fluid pressure at engine speeds of 1,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm.
