PRECISIG~ STEERING WHEEL CENTFFJIhll
In general,. the tie rods are adjusted to steer the’front wheels inthe same direction that the steering wheel is off center. If the
steering wheel is off canter to the left, center it by adjusting the
tie rods to make the front wheels steer toward the left, and vice
versa.1. Mark the tie rods and tie rod ends with chalk before
loosening the lock nuts.
2. Hold the tie rod with a wrench and loosen the lock nut.
3.Hold the tie rod end with a wrench and turn the tie rod the
desired number of turns.
For
2O or 6 mm (.25 in.) at the steering wheel rim 115
turn of tie rods
4. Tighten the lock nut to specified torque, taking care not to
turn the tie rod.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECKNlSFABH
1. With engine running (hydraulic operation), set front wheels
straight ahead.2. Measure the play on steering wheel circumference before
wheels start to move when slightly moving steering wheel
in both directions.
Limit: 30 mm (1.2
in.13. When the play exceeds the limit, check for play on steering
shaft connection and steering linkage. Correct or replace.
4.If the free play still exceeds the limit value set steering wheel
straight ahead with engine stopped. Load 5
N (1 lb.1 towardssteering wheel circumference and check play.
Standard value (steering wheel play with engine
stopped): 11 mm
I.43 in.)
If the play exceeds the standard value, remove steering gearbox and check total pinion torque.
STEERING ANGLE CHECKN19FDBJ1. Set front wheels on turning radius gauge and measure
steering angle.Standard values:
Turbo
Inner wheel
31”30’+2”Outer wheel
27”OOOther models
Inner wheel
35”00’_+2”Outer wheel
2990’
2. When not within the standard value, it is probably a toe
problem. Adjust toe (refer to GROUP 2-Service Adjustment
Procedures) and recheck.TIE ROD END BALL JOINT VARIATION CHECK
(SHAFT DIRECTION)N19FVA8The inspection procedure for the tie rod end ball joint variation
is the same as for the manual steering system. (Refer to
P. 19-7.)
TIE ROD END BALL JOINT STARTING TORQUE
CHECKNlSFEBDThe inspection procedure for the tie rod end ball joint starting
torque is the same as for the manual steering system. (Refer to
P.19-8.)

CHECKING THE OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tools.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
f 100 rpm.
4. Fully close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge and
measure the oil pump relief pressure to confirm that it is
within the standard value range.
Standard value: 7.5-8.2
MPa (1,067-1,166 psi)
Caution
Pressure gauge shut off valve must not remain closed formore than 10 seconds.
5.If it is not within the standard value, overhaul the oil pump.
6.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.
CHECKING THE PRESSURE UNDER NO-LOAD CONDITIONS1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tool.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
-t 100 rpm.
4.
Check whether or not the hydraulic pressure is the standard
value when no-load conditions are created by fully openingthe shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.
Standard value:
0.8-I .O MPa (114-142 psi)
Limit: 1.5
MPa (213 psi)
5. If it is not within the standard value, the probable cause is
a malfunction of the oil line or steering gear box, so check
these parts and repair as necessary.
6.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.

5.Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right; then
check whether or not the retention hydraulic pressure is the
standard value.
Standard value: 7.5-8.2 MPa (1,067-1,166 psi)6. When not within the standard value, overhaul the steering

Remeasure fluid pressure.
7.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
8. Bleed the system.
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH CHECKNlSFUAB1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect the special tools.
2.Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several timeswhile the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of
the fluid rises to approximately
50-60°C (122-14OOF).3. The engine should be idling.
4. Disconnect the connector for the oil pressure switch, and
place an ohmmeter ,in position.
5.Gradually close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge andincrease the hydraulic pressure then check whether the
hydraulic pressure that activates the switch is the standard
value.
Standard value: 1.5-2.0 MPa (213-284 psi)
6. Gradually open the shut-off valve and reduce the hydraulic
pressure; then check whether the hydraulic pressure that
deactivates the switch is the standard value.
Standard value: 0.7-1.2 MPa (100-171 psi)
7.Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hoseto the specified torque.
8. Bleed the system.

21-202AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Troubleshooting
CONVERTER STALL TESTStall test consist of determining maximum engine
speed obtained at full throttle in “D” and “R”
positions. This test checks torque converter stator
overrunning clutch operation, and holding ability of
transaxle clutches and low-reserve brake.
CautionDuring this test, make sure that no one stand in
front of or behind vehicle.
1. Check transaxle fluid level. Fluid should be at
normal operating temperature
[70-80°C (160-
18O”F)]. Engine coolant should also be at normaloperating temperature
[80-90°C (180- 19O”F)l.2. Apply chocks to both rear wheels.
3. Attach engine tachometer.
4. Apply parking and service brakes fully.
5. Start engine.
6. With selector lever in “D” position, depress
accelerator pedal fully to read engine maximum
rpm. Do not hold throttle wide open any longer
than is necessary to obtain maximum engine
rpm reading, and never longer than 5 seconds ata time. If more than one stall test is required,
operate engine at approximatey 1,000 rpm in
neutral for 2 minutes to cool transaxle fluid
between tests.
Stall speed:
1,800-3,200 rpm
TRANSAXLE CONTROL7. Place selector lever to “R” position and perform
?+stall test by the same procedure as in foregoing
-,
item.Stall Speed Above Specification in “D”
If stall speed is higher than specification, rear clutchor overrunning clutch of transaxle is slipping. In this
case, perform hydraulic test to locate cause of
slippage.Stall Speed Above Specifjcation in “R”
If stall speed is higher than specification, front
clutch of transaxle or low-reverse brake is slipping.
In this case, perform hydraulic test to locate cause
of slippage.
Stall Speed Below Specification in “D” and “R”
If stall speed is lower than specification, insufficient
engine output or faulty torque converter is sus-
pected. Check for engine misfiring, ignition timing,
valve clearance etc. If these are good, torque
converter is faulty.
