RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Make sure that belt tension is normal before starting the following procedure.
1. Connect the oil pressure gauge [SST: KV48103500 (J-26357)]
and the oil pressure gauge adapter [SST: KV48102500 (J-33914)] between oil pump discharge connector and high-pressure hose. Bleed air from the
hydraulic circuit while opening valve fully. Refer to See: Power Steering Fluid/Service and Repair.
2. Start engine. Run engine until oil temperature reaches 50 degrees C (122 to 176°F).
CAUTION:
-
Leave the valve of the oil pressure gauge fully open while starting and running engine. If engine is started with the valve closed, the
hydraulic pressure in oil pump goes up to the relief pressure along with unusual increase of oil temperature.
-
Be sure to keep hose clear of belts and other parts when engine is started.
3. Fully close the oil pressure gauge valve with engine at idle and measure the relief oil pressure.
