1. OIL LEAKING POINTS
1) If leak point is other than a, b, c, or d, perform
check step 5) in ªOIL LEAK CHECK PROCEDURE
AND REPLACEMENT PARTSº before dismounting
gearbox from vehicle.
gearbox is dismounted without confirming where
the leak is, it must be mounted again to locate the
leak point.
2) Even if the location of the leak can be easily
found by observing the leaking condition, it is nec-
essary to thoroughly remove the oil from the sus-
pected portion and turn the steering wheel from
lock to lock about 30 to 40 times with engine
running, then make comparison of the suspected
portion between immediately after and several
hours after this operation.
3) Before starting oil leak repair work, be sure to
clean the gearbox, hoses, pipes, and surrounding
parts. After completing repair work, clean these
areas again.
2. OIL LEAK CHECK PROCEDURE AND
REPLACEMENT PARTS
NOTE:
Parts requiring replacement are described in the
smallest unit of spare parts including damaged
parts and spare parts damaged. In actual disas-
sembly work, accidental damage as well as inevi-
table damage to some related parts must be taken
into account, and spare parts for them must also
be prepared. However, it is essential to pinpoint the
cause of trouble, and limit the number of replace-
ment parts as much as possible.
1) Leakage from ªaº
The oil seal is damaged. Replace valve assembly
with a new one.
2) Leakage from ªbº
The torsion bar O-ring is damaged. Replace valve
assembly with a new one.
3) Leakage from ªcº
The oil seal is damaged. Replace valve assembly
with a new one.
4) Leakage from ªdº
The pipe is damaged. Replace the faulty pipe or
O-ring.
5) If leak is other than a, b, c, or d, and if oil is
leaking from the gearbox, move the right and left

13) Finally check clearance between pipes and/or
hoses, as shown above.
If clearance between cruise control pump and
power steering hose is less than 10 mm (0.39 in),
proceed as follows:
(1) Move clamped section (A) (refer to figure
above.) down to a point where pipe is close to
crossmember.
Pipe-to-crossmember clearance:
10 mm (0.39 in), min.
(2) Check that clearance between cruise con-
trol pump and power steering hose is at least 10
mm (0.39 in). If it is not, bend section (B) down
until a clearance of at least 10 mm (0.39 in) is
obtained.

*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.

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

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.

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.
