Inspection and Adjustment
Pump Belt
When using a new belt. first adjust the deflection or ten-
sion to the values for the new belt, then readjust the
deflection or tension to the values for the used belt after
running engine for five minutes.
Inspection
Note these items during inspection:
a lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the belt,
replace it with a new one.
. Follow the manufacturer's instructions lor the tension
gauge.
'1. Remove the P/S reservoir from the bracket, and set
it aside.
2. Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt with the
gauge face toward the engine, and measure the ten-
sion of the belt.
Remove the belt tension gauge carefully to avoid
hitting the gauge reset lever.
Tension:
Used Belt: 390 - 540 N {40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 121 lbf)
New Belt: 7,[0 - 840 N (75 - 90 kgf, 165 - 198 lbf)

Measurement without Belt Tension Gauge:
Apply a force ot 98 N (10 kgf,22 lbt) and measure the
deflection between the power steering pump and the
crankshaft oullevs.

9, Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engineis idling. lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge
should read less than 1,500 kPa (15 kgf/cmr, 213 psi).
lf it reads high, check the outlet hose or valve bodvunit (see General Troubleshooting).

Pump Pressure Check With T/N 07406 -
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whether
the trouble is in the pump or gearbox.
1. Check the power steering tluid level (see page 17-
151, and pump belt tension (see page 17-14).
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose from the pump

Note these items during removal:
. Using solvent and a brush, wash any oil and dirt off
the valve body unit its lines, and the end if the gear-
box. Blow dry with compressed air.
. Be sure to remove the steering wheel before discon-
necting the steering joint. Damage to the cable reel
can occur.
. With 4WD. tilt the engine with a jack to expand the
clearance between the transfer assembly and rear
beam when removing the steering gearbox from the
rear oeam.
Do not remove the steering gearbox by removing the
transfer assembly from the transmission.
1. Drain the power steering fluid as described on page'17-15.
Raise the vehicle, and suppon it on safety stands in
the proper locations (see section 1).
