5. Open the pressure control valve fully.
6. Start the engine and let it idle.
7. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
8. Measure steady-state fluid pressure while idling with the shut-off valve fully open. If the pump is in good condition, the gauge should read less
than 1500 kPa (213 psi). If it reads high, check the feed line (outlet hose) or valve body unit.
9. Close the shut-off valve, then close the pressure control valve gradually until the pressure gauge needle is stable. Read the pressure.
10. Immediately open the shut-off valve fully.
CAUTION: Do not keep the shut-off valve closed more then 5 seconds or the pump could be damaged by over-heating.
NOTE: If the pump is in good condition, the gauge should read at least 6,400 - 7,400 kPa (924- 1,067 psi). A low reading means pump output is
too low for full assist. Repair or replace the pump.
