Power Steering Pump: Testing and Inspection
Discharge Flow Volume Check
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the rear oil pump and install the special tool with a rubber hose.
2. Place the other end of the rubber hose in a container which permits measurement of flow rate (2-dm3 graduated cylinder).
3. Start the engine. Increase speed slowly, then hold the indicated speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), measuring discharge flow volume for 30 seconds.
CAUTION: While performing this work, continuously add fluid into the oil reservoir.
Standard value: Approximately 1.0 dm3 (1.06 qts.)
4. If the discharge flow volume is extremely high or low, the rear oil pump should be replaced.
