Paseo Coupe L4-1497cc 1.5L DOHC MFI (1997)
Power Steering Fluid: Testing and Inspection
Fluid Pressure Check
1. Connect the Special Service Tool (SST) and do the following.
a. Disconnect the pressure feed tube from the PS vane pump.
b. Connect the 09640 - 10010 (09641 - 01010. 09641 - 01030, 09641 - 01060) SST, as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: Check that the valve of the SST is in the open position.
2. Bleed the power steering system.
3. Boost the fluid temperature by doing the following.
a. Start the engine and run it at idle.
b. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock sever times to boost fluid temperature to 80°C (176°F).
4. Check the fluid pressure reading with valve closed .With the engine idling, close the valve of the SST and observe the reading on the SST. The
minimum fluid pressure should be 6,374 kPa (925 psi).
NOTE:
^
Do not keep the valve closed for more than 10 seconds.
^
Do not let the fluid temperature become too high.
5. Check the fluid pressure reading with the valve opened and do the following.
