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.

Adjustment
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 (|).

Remove the bleeder valve, and check the fluid level
with a wire.
Caution
Be careful not to let dirt in.

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.

BLEEDING OF POWER STEERING SYSTEM
1. Check the fluid level, and add fluid if necessary.
2. Turn the steering wheel fully in both directions 5
times (engine not running).
3. Recheck the fluid level. If the level has lowered,
add fluid, and repeat from step 1.
86U10X-021
4. Start the engine, and run it at idle.
5. Turn the steering wheel fully in both directions 5
times to bleed air from the system.
6. Check that the fluid is not foamy and the fluid lev-
el has not lowered.
If a problem is found, add fluid as necessary and
repeat from step 5.
Note
If bleeding is not done completely, the follow-
ing problems may appear:
• Foamy fluid on level gauge.
• Noise from power steering oil pump.

POWER STEERING PRESSURE
1. Disconnect the high-pressure hose of the gear
housing side, and attach the SST.
Tightening torque:
39—49 N-m (4.0—5.0 m-kg, 29—36 ft-lb)
2. Bleed air from the system.
3. Open the gauge valve fully, then start the engine
and turn the steering wheel fully left and right to
raise the fluid temperature to 50—60°C
(122—140°F)
4. To measure the fluid pressure generated by the
oil pump, close the gauge valve completely and
increase the engine speed to 1,000—1,500 rpm.
If the fluid pressure is low, replace the oil pump
assembly.
Warning
If the valve is left closed for more than 15 sec-
onds, the fluid temperature will increase ex-
cessively and adversely affect the oil pump.
Oil pump fluid pressure
2WS
7,355—7,846 kPa
(75—80 kg/cm2, 1,066—1,138 psi)
4WS
Front 8,093—8,829 kPa
(82.5—90.0 kg/cm2, 1,173—1,280 psi)
Rear 7,112—7,848 kPa
(72.5—80.0 kg/cm2, 1,031—1,138 psi)
To measure the fluid pressure generated at the
gear housing, first open the gauge valve complete-
ly, increase the engine speed to 1,000—1,500
rpm, and then turn the steering wheel fully to the
left and right.
Warning
If the steering wheel is kept in the fully turned
position for more than 15 seconds, the fluid
temperature will rise excessively.
