Incident Simulation Tests
INTRODUCTION
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The
following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences
an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
+Vehicle vibration
+Heat sensitive
+Freezing
+Water intrusion
+Electrical load
+Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the conditions of
the problem.
VEHICLE VIBRATION
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating (idle with
A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to the illustration below.
Connectors & harness
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are inspecting.Gen-
tlyshake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident you are trying to dupli-
cate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
Hint
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin ®lm of corrosion on the connector termi-
nals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If the problem occurs
intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to disconnect, inspect and clean
the terminals on related connectors in the system.
Sensors & relays
Gentlyapply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting.
This test may indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.

CAUTION:
Remove fuel ®lter without spilling fuel. If spilt, wipe off imme-
diately. Be specially careful not to spill fuel on engine mount
insulator.
3. Wipe clean fuel ®lter mounting surface on fuel ®lter bracket and
smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel ®lter.
4. Screw fuel ®lter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
an additional more than 2/3 of a turn.
5. Install fuel ®lter sensor to new fuel ®lter.
6. Bleed air from fuel line.
Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.
7. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Drain water as follows.
Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start drain-
ing. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it excessively.
If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
2. Bleed air.
Checking Fuel Lines
Check fuel lines and tank for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, cha®ng and deterioration.

Bleeding Hydraulic System
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Add ¯uid into oil tank to speci®ed level. Then, quickly turn steer-
ing wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering stop-
pers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until ¯uid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
+Incomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When
this happens, bleed air again.
a. Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Clicking noise in oil pump
c. Excessive buzzing in oil pump
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This is common
when the vehicle is stationary or while turning steering wheel
slowly. This does not affect performance or durability of the system.
Checking Steering Wheel Turning Force
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering ¯uid up to adequate operating tempera-
ture. [Make sure temperature of ¯uid is approximately 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).]
Tires need to be in¯ated to normal pressure.
4. Check steering wheel turning force when steering wheel has
been turned 360É from the neutral position.
Steering wheel turning force:
39 N (4 kg, 9 lb) or less
Checking Hydraulic System
Before starting, check belt tension, driving pulley and tire pressure.
1. Set Tool. Open shut-off valve. Then bleed air. Refer to ``Bleed-
ing Hydraulic System'', ST-6.
2. Run engine at idle speed or 1,000 rpm.
Make sure ¯uid temperature in reservoir tank rises to 60 to
80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).
WARNING:
Warm up engine with shut-off valve fully opened. If engine is
started with shut-off valve closed, ¯uid pressure in the power
steering pump increases to maximum. This will raise ¯uid tem-
perature abnormally.
3. Check pressure with steering wheel fully turned to left and right
positions with engine idling at 1,000 rpm.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
Power steering pump maximum operating pressure:
8,140 - 8,728 kPa (81.4 - 87.3 bar, 83 - 89 kg/cm
2,
1,180 - 1,266 psi)
+If pressure reaches maximum operating pressure, system is
OK.
+If pressure increases above maximum operating pressure,
check power steering pump ¯ow control valve. Refer to ST-16.
