INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship

1) Disconnect pressure hose from power steering pump. Attach
Pressure Gauge (MB990662-01) and Adapters (MB990993-01 and MB990994-
01). See Fig. 2. Tighten fittings to 22-29 ft. lbs. (30-39 N.m).
2) Bleed system. See HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING under
LUBRICATION . Turn wheel several times to bleed air from gauge. Start
engine and let idle. Place thermometer in reservoir. Check fluid
level. Add fluid as necessary.
3) When fluid temperature reaches 122-140
F (50-60C),
disconnect connector from P/S pressure switch. Connect ohmmeter across
switch terminals. Slowly close shut-off valve. Check pressure when
ohmmeter indicates switch has closed (continuity). Pressure should be
218-290 (15-20 N.m). Slowly open shut-off valve. Check pressure when
ohmmeter indicates switch has opened (no continuity). Pressure should
be 102-174 (7-12 N.m). Reinstall pressure hose. Do not twist hose or
let hose interfere with adjacent parts. Replace P/S pressure switch if
pressure is not within specification. Bleed system.
CAUTION: DO NOT keep shutoff valve closed more than 3 seconds at a
time. DO NOT keep steering wheel turned to full lock
position for more than 10 seconds at a time.
STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
Stationary Test
1) Position vehicle on level surface. Place steering wheel in
straight-ahead position. Start engine and let idle. Using a spring
scale, measure steering wheel turning force clockwise and
counterclockwise.
2) On Montero, turning force should be 8.2 lbs. (3.7 kg) or
less. On Montero Sport, turning force should be 8.8 lbs. (3.9 kg) or
less. If turning force exceeds specification, check for loose or
damaged belt, insufficient fluid, air in power steering fluid, and
collapsed or twisted hoses. Repair or replace as necessary.
