5. Start the engine and let it idle.
6. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
7. Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engine is idling. If the pump is in good condition, the gauge should read 1,500 kPa (15 kgf/cm2, 213
psi). If it reads high, check the outlet hose or valve body unit see General Troubleshooting.
8. Gradually close the pressure control valve and immediately read the pressure.
CAUTION: Do not keep the pressure control valve closed more than 5 seconds or the pump could be damaged by over-heating.
9. Open the pressure control valve fully.
If the pump is in good condition, the gauge should read at least 7,500 - 8,190 kPa (76.5 - 83.5 kgf/cm2, 1,090 - 1,190 psi). A low reading means
pump output is too low for full assist. Repair or replace the pump.
