fluctuated even though turns on or off the input signal. The electrical ‘time constant’ is much more fast than one of
mechanical so the frequency of VFS is extremely higher than the conventional PWM type.
Characteristics of Bosch VFS:
Supply pressure : 700~1600kPa
Control pressure: typically 600~0 kPa
Current range: typically 0~1,000 mA
Dither frequency: Up to 600 Hz
Dimension: 32 mm protrusion reach 42 mm
The reducing pressure will be supplied to the ‘Supply’ port of the VFS valve on the above illustration to control the line
pressure.
Reducing pressure
Function
As same as one of Alpha or Beta automatic transaxle system, this reducing valve length can be adjusted by rotating
the screw on the picture. As you rotate the screw toward clockwise by 90°, the reducing pressure will increase about
1.0bar. However, the reducing pressure is used just as a ‘supply pressure’ for the solenoid valves (except
Low&Reverse, Reduction and Damper Clutch control solen), so this may not be handled to rotate in the field service
shop. VFS is operated based on the ‘supply pressure’ and it outputs the ‘control pressure’ to control the regulator
valve indirectly. While developing the VFS system, the line pressure was used as a ‘supply pressure’ for VFS and
other solenoid valves but it has been changed into additional ‘reducing pressure’ because the line pressure is variably
changed by VFS so the control pressure becomes unstable and some hydraulic pressure oscillation occurred. That is

[REAR]
Standard value :
Toe- in (B- A) mm (in) : 2.6 ± 2 (0.1024 ± 0.0787)
Adjust the toe - in by turning the cambolt of the assist arm.
Left cambolt : Clockwise → toe - in
Right cambolt : Clockwise → toe - out
The variation of toe by a rotation of the cambolt :
About 3.2 mm (0.126 in)
a. Each toe should be within ±1 mm (± 0.039 in).
If the difference between right and left is not within +2mm (0.079 in), repeat adjustment.
b. After adjusting the cambolt, tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Specified torque
90 ~ 120 Nm (9 ~ 12 kgf.m, 65.1 ~ 86.8 lb - ft)
CAMBER
[FRONT]
Camber is the inward or outward tilting of the wheels at the top.

ItemDescription
A Positive camber angle
B True vertical
When the wheel tilts out at the top, then the camber is positive (+).
When the wheel tilts in at the top, then the camber is negative(- ).
Standard value : 0° ± 30´
Difference between right and left angle is within 0° 30´
Camber is pre- set at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted. If the camber is not within the standard value,
replace the bent or damaged parts.
[REAR]
Standard value : - 6´ ± 30´
Difference between right and left angle is within 0° 30´
Adjust the camber by turning the cambolt of the rear upper arm.
Left cambolt : Clockwise → camber(- )
Right cambolt : Clockwise →camber(+)
The variation of camber by a rotation of the cambolt :
About 0°8´35´´
CASTER
Caster is the tilting of the strut axis either forward or backward from vertical. A backward tilt is positive (+) and a
forward tilt is negative ( - ).
Caster is pre- set at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted. If the caster is not within the standard value, replace
the bent or damaged parts.

CHECKING POWER STEERING BELT TENSION
Refer to EM group(Timing system).
CHECKING POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
1.Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Start the engine. With the vehicle kept stationary, turn the steering wheel several times continuously to raise the
fluid temperature to 50- 60°C (122 - 140°F).
3. With the engine at idle, turn the steering wheel fully clockwise and counter- clockwise several times.
4. Make sure that there is no foaming or cloudiness in the reservoir fluid.
5. Stop the engine and check for any difference in fluid level between a stationary and a running engine.
a.If the fluid level varies 5 mm (0.2 in) or more, bleed the system again.
b. If the fluid level suddenly rises after stopping the engine, further bleeding is required.
c. Incomplete bleeding will produce a chattering sound in the pump and noise in the flow control valve, and
lead to decreased durability of the pump.
REPLACING POWER STEERING FLUID
1.Jack up the front wheels and support them with jackstands.
2. Disconnect the return hose from the oil reservoir and plug the oil reservoir.
3. Connect a vinyl hose to the disconnected return hose, and drain the oil into a container.
4. Remove the fuel pump fuse, then start the engine and wait for the engine to stall. Next, while operating the starting
motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right several times to drain the
fluid.
5. Connect the return hoses, then fill the oil reservoir with the specified fluid.
6. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse.
7. Start the engine. Check for oil leakage.
8. Stop the engine.
9. Bleed the system.
Power steering fluid type : PSF - 3
Total quantity : Approx 1.1 liter
AIR BLEEDING
1.Remove the fuel pump fuse, then start the engine and wait for the engine to stall. Next, while operating the starting
motor intermittently (for 15 ~ 20 seconds), turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and then to the right five or
six times.
