ureDamaged O-ring Replace O-ring.

figureCrack in oil tank, (14) Replace oil tank.
Damaged O-ring, (15) Replace O-ring.
Leakage from filler neck (16) Damaged cap packing Replace cap.
Crack in root of filler neck Replace oil tank.

Leakage from surrounding of power cyl-
inder of gearbox, (17) in figureDamaged oil seal Replace oil seal.
Leakage from control valve of gearbox,
(18) and (19) in figureDamaged packing or oil seal Replace problem parts.
Damage in control valve Replace control valve.
*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
Replace oil pump.
