MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-13
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants (For GENERAL EXPORT)
In order to obtain maximum performance and longest service life from your ISUZU vehicles, it is very important to
select and use correctly best lubricants and diesel fuels.
When lubricating, be sure to use ISUZU genuine lubricants or recommended lubricants listed below, according to
the maintenance schedule for each vehicle model.
The lubrication intervals in the maintenance schedule and coverage and period of new vehicle warranty are based
on the use of ISUZU genuine lubricants or recommended lubricants as given in the chart which will serve as a guide
for selecting lubricants of proper brand name.

3B-8 POWER-ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM

6. Fully close the shutoff valve. Record the highest
pressures.


If the pressure recorded is within 9300-9800 kPa
(95-100 kg/cm
2/1350-1420 psi), the pump is
functioning within its specifications.


If the pressure recorded is higher than 9800 kPa
(100 kg/cm
2/1420 psi), the valve in the pump is
defective.


If the pressure recorded is lower than 9300 kPa (95
kg/cm
2/1350 psi), the valve or the rotating group in
the pump is defective.
7. If the pump pressures are within specifications,
leave the valve open and turn (or have someone
else turn) the steering wheel fully in both directions.
Record the highest pressures and compare with the
maximum pump pressure recorded in step 6. If this
pressure cannot be built in either side of the powe
r
steering unit, the power steering unit is leaking
internally and must be replaced.
8. Shut the engine off, remove the testing gauge.
9. Reconnect the pressure hose, check the fluid level
and make the needed repairs.
10. If the problem still exists, the steering and fron
t
suspension must be thoroughly examined.

Maintenance
The hydraulic system should be kept clean and fluid
level in the reservoir should be checked at regula
r
intervals and fluid added when required. Refer to
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants in General
Information section for the type of fluid to be used and
the intervals for filling.
If the system contains some dirt, flush it as described in
this section. If it is exceptionally dirty, the pump must be
completely disassembled before further usage. (The
steering unit cannot be disassembled.)
All tubes, hoses, and fittings should be inspected for
leakage at regular intervals. Fittings must be tight. Make
sure the clips, clamps and supporting tubes and hoses
are in place and properly secured.
Power steering hoses and lines must not be twisted,
kinked or tightly bent. Air in the system will cause
spongy action and noisy operation. When a hose is
disconnected or when fluid is lost, for any reason, the
system must be bled after refilling. Refer to Bleeding the
Power Steering System in this section.


Inspect belt for tightness.


Inspect pulley for looseness or damage. The pulle
y
should not wobble with the engine running.


Inspect hoses so they are not touching any othe
r
parts of the vehicle.


Inspect fluid level and fill to the proper level.

Fluid Level
1. Run the engine until the power steering fluid
reaches normal operating temperature, about 55
C (130
F), then shut the engine off.
2. Check the level of fluid in the reservoir.
3. If the fluid level is low, add power steering fluid as
specified in General Information to the proper level
and install the receiver cap.
4. When checking the fluid level after the steering
system has been serviced, air must be bled from
the system. Refer to Bleeding the Power Steering
System in this section.

Bleeding The Power Steering System
When a power steering pump or unit has been installed,
or an oil line has been disconnected, the air that has
entered the system must be bled out before the vehicle
is operated. If air is allowed to remain in the powe
r
steering fluid system, noisy and unsatisfactory operation
of the system may result.

Bleeding Procedure
When bleeding the system, and any time fluid is added
to the power steering system, be sure to use only powe
r
steering fluid as specified in General Information.
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and
let the fluid settle for at least two minutes.
2. Start the engine and let it run for a few seconds. Do
not turn the steering wheel. Then turn the engine
off.
3. Add fluid if necessary.
4. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid level
remains constant after running the engine.
5. Raise and support the front end of the vehicle so
that the wheels are off the ground.
6. Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering wheel right
and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops.
7. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
8. Lower the vehicle, set the steering wheel at the
straight forward position after turning it to its full
steer positions 2 or 3 times, and stop the engine.
9. Check the fluid level and refill as required.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle to
set a few minutes, then repeat the above procedure.

Flushing The Power Steering System
1. Raise and support the front end of the vehicle off
the ground until the wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove the fluid return line at the pump inlet
connector and plug the connector port on the pump.
Position the line toward a large container to catch
the draining fluid.
3. While running the engine at idle, fill the reservoi
r
with new power steering fluid. Turn the steering
wheel in both directions. Do not contact or hold the
steering wheel to the wheel stops. This will cause
the pump to go to pressure relief mode, which ma
y
cause a sudden fluid overflow at the reservoir.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (AW30 –40LE) 7A3-13

Measure Stall Speed
1. Chock the four wheels.
2. Mount an engine tachometer.
3. Fully apply the parking brake.
4. Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot.
5. Start the engine.
6. Turn off the A/C.
7. Shift into the “D" range. Step all the way down on
the accelerator pedal with your right foot. Quickl
y
read the highest engine rpm.
Stall speed: 2100






150 rpm
8. Perform the same test in the “R" range.
Evaluation

1. If the engine speed is the same for both ranges but
lower than the specified value:
 Engine output is insufficient.
 Stator one-way clutch is not operating properly.
NOTE: If more than 600 rpm below the specified value,
the torque converter could be faulty.
2. If the stall speed in “D" range is higher than
specified:
 Line pressure too low
 Forward clutch slipping
 No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
3. If the stall speed in “R" range is higher than
specified:
 Line pressure too low
 Direct clutch slipping
 No.3 brake slipping
4. If the stall speed in the “R" and “D" ranges are
higher than specified:
 Line pressure too low
 Improper fluid level

Time Lag Test



F07RY00003
If the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling,
there will be a certain time elapse or lag before the
shock can be felt. This is used for checking the
condition of the forward clutch, direct clutch, No.3
brake, and No.2 one-way clutch.
NOTE:
1. Perform the test at normal operation fluid
temperature (50 – 80 C or 122 – 176 F)
2. Be sure to allow one minute interval between tests.
3. Make three measurements and take the average value.
