Noise and Vibration
NOTE: Pump noise in first 2 - 3 minutes after starting in cold weather (-20.C, -4"F or colder) is normal.
Humming
Rattle or chattering

Pump noise. though not loud,lrom the vslvo bodv unit can be heard when turn-ing the steering wheel right or left. This is normsl.
Humming due to pulsation ol fluid is no.mal, paniculady when wheel is turnedwith ca. stopped.
lf equipped with automatic trans-mission, the hum could b€ tor-que convener or pump notse.
Confirm by temporarily removingpump b€lt.

Loose steering shaft connector.tie-rod, or balljoint.Check and tighten, or replacepa s as necessary.
Column shaft wobbling.Replace column assembly.
Check the rack guide for properadjustment (16o page 17-21).Adjust, if n€ca€ssry.
Rattling sound and feeling when turning the steoring wheel right and lett with thoengine OFF is a sound when th6 valve unit contacts tho stopper. This is normal.
Striking sound wh6n turning the ste€ring whoglfully right o. left is a sound whenthe r6ck end contacts th6 stopper. This is normal.

2.Start the engine, allow it to idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-to-lock sev€ral times to warm

Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the
engine idling and the car on a clean, dry floor, pull
the scale as shown and read it as soon 8s the tires
begin to turn,

Start the engine and let it idle.
Turn the stee.ing wheel from lock-to-lock several
times to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
Measure steady-state fluid pressure while idling
with the shut-off valve fully open. lf the pump is in
good condition, the gauge should read less than
1500 kpa (15 kgf/cm,,213 psi).
lf it reads high, check the feed line or valve body
unit (see General Troubleshooting l7-10).
Close the shut-off valve. then close the pressure
control valve gradually until the pressure gauge
needle is stabl6, Read the pressure.
lmmediately open the shut-off valve fully.
CAUTION: Do not keep the shut-ott valvs closod
moro thgn 5 soconds or th9 pump could b6 dam"

lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge should
read at least 6.400 - 7,400 kpa (65 - 75 kgIlcm,,924- 1,067 psi). A low reading means pump output is
too low for full assist. Repair or replace the pump.
