6. Connect the ISC valve connector.
Note
a) Make sure that the initial idle speed is set
to specification.
b) All accessory must be OFF.
7. Again disconnect the ISC valve connector (engine
at normal operating temperature).
8. Check that the engine speed decreases.
9. Reconnect the ISC valve connector.
10 Remove the jumper wire from the test connector
and make sure that the idle speed is within specifi-
cations.
(Load Test)
11. Apply power steering, electrical, and air conditioner
loads and check that the idle speed is controlled
to within specifications.
Load Idle speed
P/S 750 ± 50
E/L 800 ± 50
A/C 800 ± 50
E/L and A/C 800 ± 50
BAC Valve
Air valve
1. Remove the BAC valve from the throttle body.
2. Blow air through the valve from port A and check
that air comes out of port B when the BAC valve
is cold..
3. If not correct, replace the BAC valve.
Note
Refer to "Installation" on this page for the
BAC valve installation.

With the vehicle on a hard level surface, move the
steering wheel to put the wheels in the straight
ahead position.
Start the engine and warm the power steering flu-
id to 50—60°C (122—140°F), pull scale.
Attach a pull scale to the outer circumference of
the steering wheel. Then, starting with the wheels
in the straight-ahead position, check the steering
effort required to turn the steering wheel to the left
and to the right.
If the measured value exceeds specification, check
the following: fluid level, air in system, fluid leak-
age at hose or connections, function of oil pump
and gear box, and tire pressure.
Steering wheel effort:
ESPS Type
25—31N (2.6—3.2 kg, 6—7 lb)
ECPS Type
15—23 N (1.7—2.3 kg, 3—5 lb)
4WS Type
25—35N (2.5—3.5 kg, 6—8 lb)
[during one turn of the steering wheel]
Note (4WS)
1)lf not within specification, separate the
transfer shaft from the front steering gear
and check again.
2) If still not within specification, there is a
malfunction of the front steering gear.
3) If the measured value is now within specifi-
cation, check the transfer shaft and rear
steering gear. (Refer to Page 10—45.)

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
Check the power steering fluid level, and add fluid
to the specified level if necessary.
Caution
Use only the specified power steering fluid.

Gasoline engine
1. Loosen the lock nut on the idler pulley.
2. Turn the adjust bolt on the idler pulley until the cor-
rect tension is obtained.
3. Tighten the lock nut and recheck the tension.
Tightening torque:
49—59 Nm (5—6 m-kg, 36—43 ft-lb)
Diesel engine
1. Loosen the vacuum pump bolt ©and (B).
2. Lever the vacuum pump outward and apply ten-
sion to the belt.
3. Tighten the adjust bolt (|).

LEAKAGE OF POWER STEERING FLUID
Check the following points for fluid leakage:
1. Gear
2. Oil pump
3. All fluid pipes and connections
4. Solenoid valve (ECPS Type, 4WS Type)
Note
a) Start the engine, and check for fluid leakage after turning the steering wheel completely
to the left and right to apply fluid pressure. Do not, however, keep the steering wheel
in the fully turned position for more than 15 seconds.
b)The points where fluid leakage may occur are indicated by the arrows in the figure.
