Check power steering lluid level. lfthe level is excessively low checkfor leaks in the system. Add fluidto the specified level.
Air in reservoir, or check powersteering tluid level.
lf fluid level is OK, check O-ringsand seals on both ends of thepump inlet hose, and the P/Spump housing mating surlacesand drive shaft oil seal for suction leaks. Check the reservoir forcracks, Replace parts as neces-
Pump belt slipping on pulley(pump stops momentarily).Adjust the belt tension (see page17-14) or replace belt.
Check if pump pressure is normaland the gauge needle travel is 500kPa (5 kgl/cm,, 71 psi) or less.Check the flow control valve if theneedle travel exceeds 500 kPa (5kgflcm', 71 psi). lI the flow controlvalve is normal, replace the pumpas an assembly,
Install the power steering pres-sure gauge, Close the pressurecontrol valve and shut off valve (if
so equipped) fully and measurethe pump pressure (see page 17-16ot 17 17).

lnspection and Adjustment
Pump Pressure Gheck With T/N 07406 - 0010001
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whetherthe trouble is in the pump orgearbox.
1. Check the powsr steering fluid level (see page 17-15), and pump belt tension (see page 17-14).
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose from the pump
outlet with care so as not to spill the pow€r steeringiluid on the frame and other pans. thon install theP/S joint adapter (pumpl on the pump outlet.

6. Fully open the pressure controlvatve.
7. Start the engine and let it idle.
8. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock severaltimes to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
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).
10. Close the pressure control valve, then close theshut-off valve gradually until the pressure gauge
nsedle is stable. Read the pressure.

11. lmmodiately open the pressure controlvalve fullv.
lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge shouldread at least 6,900 - 7,800 kpa (70 - 80 kgflcmr,'1,000 - 1.140 psi). A low reading means pump out-put is too low for full assist. Repair or replace theDUMD.

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
outlet with care so as not to spill the power steering
fluid on the frame and other parts, then install the

NOTE:
. Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of
dust and other foreign particles.
. Do not try to disassemble the master cylinder assem-
bly. Replace the master cylinder assembly with a new

Pushrod Clearance Adjustment
NOTE: Master cylinder pushrod-to-piston clearance must
be checked and adjustments made, if necessary. before
installing the master cylinder.
1. Set the special tool on the master cylinder body;
push in the center shaft until the top ot it contacts
the end of the secondary piston by turning the ad-justing nut.

A/G System Service
Performance Test
The performance test will helD determine if the air con-
ditioner system is operating within specifications.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner svstem.
CAUTION: Exposure to air condiiioner r€trigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irritate €yes, nose and
throat. Avoid bre8thing the air conditioner retrige.ant
and lubricant vapor or mist,
lf accidental system discharge occurs. ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment o. vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
comDressed air.
@ some mixtur€s ol air and R-134a have becn
shown to be combuslible at olsvated pressures and can
result in lire or explosion causing iniury or property
damage. Never use compressed air to prgssure test R-
13i[a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys.
tems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained
from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
Recovory/Recycling/charging station
LOW.PRESSURESIDE
1.Connect a R-134a refrigerant recover/recycling/
charging station to the vehicle, as shown. following
the equipment manufacturer's instructions,
Insen a thermometer in the center air vent. Determine
the relative humidity and air temperature.
Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.
o Open hood.
. open front doors.
. Set the temperature control dial on MAX COOL,
the mode control dial on VENT and the reci.cula-
tion control switch on RECIRCULATE.
. Turn the A,/C switch on and the fan switch on
MAX.
. Run the engine at 1,500 rpm.
. No driver or passengers in vehicle
After running the air conditioning for 10 minutes
under the above test conditions, read the deliverv
temperature from the thermometer in the dash vent
and the high and low system pressure from the Ay'Cgauges.

5. To comDlete the charts:
. Markthe delivery temperature along the vertical line'
. Markthe intake temperature {ambient air temperature) along the bottom line'
. Draw a line straight up from the air temperature to the humidity'
. Mark a point 10% above and 10% below the humidity level'
a From each point, draw a horizontal line across the delivery temperature'
. The deliverv temperature should fall between the two lines'
. Complete the low-side pressure test and high-side pressure test in the same way'
. Anv measurements outside the line may indicate the need for further inspection

Reassemble the comDressor clutch in the reverse
order of disassembly. Make note of the following
rrems.
Install the field coil with the wire side facing down,
and align the boss on the tield coil with the hole in
the compressor.
Clean the rotor pulley and compressor sliding
surfaces with non-oetroleum solvent.
lnstall new snap rings A and B.
Make sure the snap rings are fully seated in the
groove.
Make sure that the rotor pulley turns smoothly
after it's reassembled.
Route and clamp the wires properly or they can
be damaged by the rotor pulley.
