*1 Fluid level is specified at optimum position (range) for ordinary use. Accordingly, if the vehicle is used often under hard
conditions such as on very rough roads or in mountainous areas, fluid may bleed out from cap air vent hole. This is not
a problem. If a customer complains strongly and is not likely to be satisfied with the leakage, lower the fluid level to the
extent that fluid will not bleed out under the conditions described, and have the customer check the fluid level and its
quality more frequency than usual.
E: NOISE AND VIBRATION
CAUTION:
Don't keep the relief valve operated over 5 sec-
onds at any time or inner parts of the oil pump
may be damaged due to rapid increase of fluid
temperature.
NOTE:
IGrinding noise may be heard immediately after
the engine start in extremely cold condition. In this
case, if the noise goes off during warm-up there is
no abnormal function in the system. This is due to
the fluid characteristic in extremely cold condition.
IOil pump makes whine or growl noise slightly
due to its mechanism. Even if the noise can be
heard when steering wheel is turned at stand still
there is no abnormal function in the system pro-
vided that the noise eliminates when the vehicle is
running.
IWhen stopping with service brake and/or park-
ing brake applied, power steering can be operated
easily due to its light steering effort. If doing so, thedisk rotates slightly and makes creaking noise. The
noise is generated by creaking between the disk
and pads. If the noise goes off when the brake is
released, there is no abnormal function in the sys-
tem.
IThere may be a little vibration around the steer-
ing devices when turning steering wheel at
standstill, even though the component parts are
properly adjusted and have no defects.
Hydraulic systems are likely to generate this kind
of vibration as well as working noise and fluid noise
because of combined conditions, i.e., road surface
and tire surface, engine speed and turning speed
of steering wheel, fluid temperature and braking
condition.
This phenomena does not indicate there is some
abnormal function in the system.
The vibration can be known when steering wheel
is turned repeatedly at various speeds from slow to
rapid step by step with parking brake applied on
concrete road and in ªDº range for automatic trans-
mission vehicle.
Trouble Possible cause Corrective action
Hiss noise (continuous)
While engine is running.Relief valve emits operating sound when steering wheel is
completely turned in either direction. (Don't keep this condition
over 5 seconds.)Normal
Relief valve emits operating sound when steering wheel is not
turned. This means that the relief valve is faulty.Defective

D: OPERATION CHECK (WITHOUT
USING GAUGES)
CAUTION:
When checking operation, be sure to securely
apply the hand brake.
1. CHECKING WITHOUT USING GAUGES
This method cannot determine the exact portion
which has failed, but it can provide a rough under-
standing of the nature of the failure if checking is
conducted in accordance with the following proce-
dures.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Start engine, and run it for 1 to 2 minutes, then turn
it off.
Depress brake pedal several times applying the
same pedal force as that used in ordinary braking
operations. The pedal stroke should be greatest on
the 1st depression, and it should become smaller
with each successive depression. If no change
occurs in the pedal height while in a depressed
state, brake booster is faulty.
G4M0744
NOTE:
IIn the event of defective operation, inspect the
condition of the check valve and vacuum hose.
IReplace them if faulty and conduct the test
again.
IIf no improvement is observed, check precisely
with gauges.

3. OPERATION CHECK
1) With engine off, depress brake pedal several
times applying the same pedal force and make
sure that the pedal height does not vary with each
depression of the pedal.
G4M0914
2) With brake pedal depressed, start engine.
3) As engine starts, brake pedal should move
slightly toward the floor. If no change occurs in the
pedal height, brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, check precisely with gauges.
4. LOADED AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and
turn off engine while the pedal is still depressed.
Keep the pedal depressed for 30 seconds; if no
change occurs in the pedal height, brake booster
is functioning normally; if the pedal height
increases, it is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, check precisely with gauges.
E: OPERATION CHECK (WITH
USING GAUGES)
CAUTION:
When checking operation, be sure to securely
apply the hand brake.
1. CHECKING WITH GAUGES
Connect gauges as shown in Figure. After bleed-
ing air from pressure gauges, proceed to each
check.
G4M0423
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
1) Start engine and keep it running until a vacuum
of 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg) = point A is
indicated on vacuum gauge. Do not depress brake
pedal.
G4M0746
2) Stop engine and watch the gauge. If the
vacuum drop range is less than 3.3 kPa (25
mmHg, 0.98 inHg) within 15 seconds after stop-
ping engine, brake booster is functioning properly.
If defective, the cause may be one of those listed
below.

3. LOADED AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
1) Start engine and depress brake pedal with
pedal force of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb). Keep engine
running until a vacuum of 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg,
19.69 inHg) = point B is indicated on vacuum
gauge while the pedal is still depressed.

2) Stop engine and watch vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum drop range is less than 3.3 kPa (25
mmHg, 0.98 inHg) within 15 seconds after stop-
ping engine, brake booster is functioning properly.

1) Normal
Brown to grayish-tan deposits and slight electrode
wear indicate correct spark plug heat range.
G6M0087
2) Carbon fouled
Dry fluffy carbon deposits on insulator and elec-

cleaner, etc.
It is advisable to replace with plugs having hotter
heat range.
G6M0088
3) Oil fouled
Wet black deposits show excessive oil entrance
into combustion chamber through worn rings and
pistons or excessive clearance between valve
guides and stems. If same condition remains after
repair, use a hotter plug.
G6M0089
4) Overheating
White or light gray insulator with black or gray
brown spots and bluish burnt electrodes indicate
engine overheating. Moreover, the appearance
results from incorrect ignition timing, loose spark
