M37FKAH
BLEEDING,LJ(1) Bleed air from power steering system (Refer to GROUP
37A
- Service Adjustment Procedures.)
(2) Lift up the vehicle.
(3) Start the engine and let it idle.
(4) Loosen the bleeder screw on the left side of the control
valve and set the special tool to the bleeder screw.
(5) Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, immediately
returning it half way back.
At this time confirm that air is discharged with the fluid.
(6) Repeat step (5) two or three times, then check to ensure
that all air has been bled from the system.
(7) Repeat steps (4) through (6) for the right side bleeder
sc,rew, turning the steering wheel to the right this time.
(8) Loosen the power cylinder bleeder screw and set the
special tool to the bleeder screw.
Caution
Loosen the bleeder screw about 30 to 45 degrees, andsecure it with the special tool (rotation prevention
metal fixtures) so as not to be loosened more.
(9) Start the engine, running the vehicle at an indicated speed
I/l1Iof about 70-80 km/h (43-50 mph) to circulate the fluid.
-13FOO13
Caution
When replenishing the fluid, take special care as all fourIwheels will be rotating.
Fluid level difference within
5 mm (.20 in.)
While
engineWhile engine isIS runningstopped13lJO13~(lO)Maintain an indicated speed of about 30-40 km/h (19-25
mph), turning the steering wheel all the way to both left and
right.
When the wheel is steered all the way in either direction,
pressure will rise and air will circulate inside the tube
(special tool). Check to ensure that this air is discharged into
the oil reservoir.
(1 l)Repeat step (10) several times until that all air in the system
has been bled.
(12)Ensure that the difference in the fluid levels when the
engine is running and when it is stopped are within 5 mm(.20 in.).
If the difference exceeds 5 mm
(.20 in.), there is still air in
the system and it must be bled again.
Caution
If air has not been completely bled from the system, the
pump will make a humming sound or an unusual noise ,,
will come from the flow control valve; this also
dcontributes to shortened pump life.

Rubber hose
13FOOl
Graduated cylinder13FOOllFUNCTION CHECK
_M37FWAA
(1) Raise the vehicle so that all four wheels may turn freely.
(2) Start the engine, running the vehicle at an indicated speed
of about 80
km/h (50 mph).
(3) Turn the steering wheel all the way to left and right and turn
it swiftly, checking to ensure that the rear wheels steer to
the same directions as the front wheels.
REAR OIL PUMP DISCHARGE FLOW VOLUME
CHECKM37FLBA
(1) Disconnect the pressure hose from the rear oil pump and
install the special tool with a rubber hose.
(2) Place the other end of the rubber hose in a container which
permits measurement of flow rate (2-liter graduated cylin-
der).(3) Start the engine. Increase speed slowly, then hold the
indicated speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), measuring discharge
flow volume for 30 seconds.
Caution
While performing this work, continuously add fluid intothe oil reservoir.
Standard value: Approximately
1.0 liter (1.06 qts.)
(4) If the discharge flow volume is extremely high or low, the
rear oil pump should be replaced.
BALL JOINT ROTATION STARTING TORQUE
CHECKM37FECA
(1) Holding the power cylinder tie rod with a spanner, discon-
nect the tie rod and trailing arm.
(2) After swinging the ball joint stud several times, install the
stud nut, then measure the ball joint rotation starting torque
with the special tool.
Standard value: 0.5 Nm (4
in.lbs.) or less
(3) If the rotation starting torque exceeds the standard value,
replace the tie rod end.
(4) If the rotation starting torque is less than the standard
value, check that the ball joint is not loose and operates
smoothly. If not, it may be reused.

Secure the power cylinder on the tie rod side with a
spanner and remove the power cylinder mounting nut.
INSPECTIONM37SCM
TIR ROD SWING TORQUE INSPECTION
(1) Swing the tie rod ten times hard.
(2) Point the tie rod end down, then attach a spring balance as
shown in the illustration to measure swing resistance
(swing torque).
Standard value: 9
- 55 N (2 - 12 Ibs.)
[0.5 - 3 Nm (4 - 26 in.lbs.)l(3) If the swing resistance exceeds the standard value, replace
the tie rod.
(4) If the swing resistance is less than the standard value, the
ball joint may be reused as long as it is not loose and
operates smoothly.
POWER CYLINDER SLIDE RESISTANCE CHECK
(1) Place the piston in a neutral position.
(2) Wrap a wire around the tie rod end, then measure slide
resistance with a spring balance as shown in the illustration.
Standard value: 67 N (15
Ibs.) or less
(3) If the slide resistance exceeds the standard value,
replace,the power cylinder.
(4) If the slide resistance is less than the standard value, the
power cylinder may be reused as long as it is not loose and
slides smoothly.
