Steering Gear: Testing and Inspection
Retention Hydraulic Pressure Check
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then connect the special tools.
2. Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several times while the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of the fluid rises to approximately
50 - 60 ° C (122 - 140°F).
3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000 +/-100 RPM.
4. Fully open the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.
5. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right; then check whether or not the retention hydraulic pressure is 8.3 - 9.0 MPa (1,209 - 1,309 psi)
.
6. When not within 8.3 - 9.0 MPa (1,209 - 1,309 psi), overhaul the steering gear box. Remeasure fluid pressure.
7. Remove the special tools, and the tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque.
8. Bleed the system.
