System Description
Steering Pump (cont'dl
The flow control valve and sub-valve in the pump per-
forms the following steps @ through @ to control the
flow of fluid, that is to increase the discharge volume
when engine speed is low, and to decrease it when the
engine speed increases. The assistance thrust of the
steering gearbox changes in compliance with the
change in the discharge volume.
When the engine starts, fluid discharged from the
discharge port starts to flow through oil passage A,
the fixed orifice and the variable orifice to the steer-
ing gearbox. When the engine speed is extremely
low, the return port is closed by the flow control
Fluid pressure discharged from the discharge port
is applied to the top of the sub-valve, and the fluid
pressure that passed through oil passage A is applied
to the bottom of the sub-valve. When this happens,
the pressure difference between the ends of oil pas-
sage A, which is caused by the resistance oil passage
A when the fluid flows through the passage. is
applied to the sub-valve, However, the pressure dif-
ference applied to the sub-valve. that is the force
that pushes the sub-valve down, is too small to
overcome the spring force, and the variable orifice is
fully open when the engine speed is extremely low.
Because the fluid volume flowing through the fixed
orifice and variable orifice increases, a pressure dif-
terence is created between the ends of these ori-
fices, and it increases in proportion to the engine
speed. As the fluid pressure that passed the fixed
orifice and variable orifice is directed to the bottom
of the flow control valve. a pressure difference is
created between the top and bottom of the valve,
which pushes down the flow control valve and
opens the return port. As a result, pan of the fluid
discharged from the discharge port feturns to the
pump suction port, keeping the discharge volume
constant.
In this condition, the sub-valve does not move. and
the variable orifice stays fully open.

@ The fluid volume that flows thorough oil passage A
and the pressure djfference applied to the sub-valve
increase in proportion to the engine speed. The
sub-valve lowers overcoming the spring force, and
it stans to close the variable orifice to regulate the
discharge volume, When this happens, the fluid vol-
ume flowing to the steering gearbox decreases as
the engine speed increases. At the same time, the
flow control valve continues to control the fluid vol-
ume to the return Port,
@ As the engine speed increases funher, the pressure
difference at the sub-valve increases further as well.
The sub-valve then closes the variable orifice com-
pletely, regulating the discharge volume further.
When this happens, the fluid volume discharged
from the pump to the steering gearbox is regulated
and maintained at a given level until the engine
speed reaches the high speed range The flow con-
trol valve functions continues to control the fluid
volume to the return Port.
Pressure Relief
Pressure at the discharge side of the fixed orifice is
directed to the bottom of the flow control valve. When
the pressure builds up, the relief valve in the flow con-
trol valve opens to release the pressure at the bottom of
the valve. This allows the flow control valve to be
pushed back by the pressure difference, and the fluid
volume to the pump return port increases.
As explained above. the system keeps the pump dis-
charge pressure (relief pressure) from exceeding the
given level by controlling the volume of the fluid to the
pump relurn pon,

2.
't.Drain the fluid from the pump.
Hold the steering pump in a vise with soft jaws,
hold the pulley with the special tool, and remove
the pulley nut and pulley.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the pump
housing with the iaws of the vise and extension bar.
UNIVERSAL HOLDER
Loosen the flow control valve cap with a hex wrench
and remove it.
4. Remove the O-ring, flow control valve and spring.
5. Remove the inlet joint and O-ring.
6. Remove the pump cover and pump cover seal.
7. Remove the outer side plate, pump cam ring, pump
rotor, pump vanes, side plate and O-rings.
8. Remove the snap ring, then remove the sub-valve
from the pump housing.
9. Remove the circlip, then remove the pump drive
shaft by tapping the shaft end with the plastic ham-
mer.
10. Remove the pump seal spacer and pump seal.

Inspection
Flow Control Valve:
1. Check the tlow control valve for wear. burrs, and
other damage to the edges of the grooves in the
vatve,
FLOWCONTROL VALVE
Check fordamage to edges.
Inspect the bore the flow control valve for scratches
or wear.
Slip the valve back in the pump, and check that it
moves in and out smoothly.
lf OK, go on step 4; if not, replace the pump as an
assembly. The flow control valve is not available
separately.
Attach a hose to the end of the valve as shown.
