6 V6-3.0L (2007)
2. Disconnect the pressure pipe from the oil pump, and connect the SSTs.
Tightening torque 29.4 - 44.1 Nm (3.0 - 4.4 kgf-m, 22 - 32 ft. lbs.)
3. Bleed the air from the system.
4. Open the gauge valve fully
5. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully left and right to raise the fluid temperature to 50 - 60°C (122 - 140°F).
6. Close the gauge valve completely.
7. Increase the engine speed to 1,000-1,500 rpm and measure the fluid pressure generated by the oil pump. If the pressure is not within the
specification, repair or replace the oil pump component.
Caution:
^
If the valve is left closed for more than 5 seconds, the fluid temperature will rise excessively and adversely affect the oil pump.
Oil pump fluid pressure
L3: 10.80 - 11.29 MPa (110.2 - 115.2 kgf/cm2, 1567 - 1637 psi)
AJ: 11.31 - 11.80 MPa (115.4 - 120.3 kgf/cm2, 1640 - 1711 psi)
L3 WITH TC: 11.30 - 11.70 MPa (116.0 - 119.0 kgf/cm2, 1639 - 1696 psi)
8. Open the gauge valve fully and increase the engine speed to 1,000 - 1,500 rpm.
9. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right, then measure the fluid pressure generated at the gear housing. If the pressure is not within the
specification, repair or replace the steering gear component.
Caution:
^
If the steering wheel is kept in the fully turned position for more than 5 seconds, the fluid temperature will rise excessively and adversely
