POWER STEERING (P/S) SYSTEM 3B1-3
Hydraulic Pressure in P/S Circuit
Hydraulic pressure check
1) After cleaning joint of high pressure hose and P/S pump
thoroughly, disconnect hose from pump and install special
tool (oil pressure gauge, attachment and hose).
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77410
(B) : 09915-77420
2) Check each connection for fluid leakage and bleed air.
Refer to “AIR BLEEDING PROCEDURE” in this section.
3) With engine idling, turn steering wheel and warm up engine
till temperature of fluid in P/S fluid reservoir rises to 50 –
60°C (122 – 140°F).
4) Check back pressure by measuring hydraulic pressure with
engine idling and hands off steering wheel.
When back pressure is higher than specified values, check
control valve and piping for clogging.
Back pressure :
Lower than 1000 kPa (10 kg/cm
2, 142 psi) CAUTION:
Take care not to cause damage to A/C condenser during
service operation, if equipped.

5) Check relief pressure.
a) Increase engine speed to about 1500 r/min (rpm). Close
gauge valve gradually while watching pressure increase
indicated by gauge and take reading of relief pressure
(maximum hydraulic pressure).
When it is higher than specified values, possible cause is
malfunction of relief valve.
When it is lower than specified values, possible cause is
either failure of P/S pump or settling of relief valve spring.
Relief pressure (when gauge valve is closed) :
7650 – 8350 kPa (76.5 – 83.5 kg/cm
2, 1088 – 1187 psi)
b) Next, open gauge valve fully and increase engine speed to
about 1500 r/min (rpm). Then turn steering wheel to the left
or right fully and take reading of relief pressure.
When it is higher than specified values, possible cause is
malfunction of relief valve.
When it is lower than specified values, possible cause is
failure in steering gear box. Replace gear box.
Relief pressure (when gauge valve is opened) :
7650– 8350 kPa (76.5 – 83.5 kg/cm
2, 1088 – 1187 psi) CAUTION:
Be sure not to close gauge valve for longer than 10 sec-
onds.

CAUTION:
Be sure not to hold steering wheel at fully turned position
for longer than 10 seconds.

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) 5E2-3
General Description
Components/Parts Location
The ABS (Antilock Brake System) controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each brake from
the master cylinder so that each wheel is not locked even when hard braking is applied.
This ABS has also the following function.
While braking is applied, but before ABS control becomes effective, braking force is distributed between the
front and rear so as to prevent the rear wheels from being locked too early for better stability of the vehicle.The
main component parts of this ABS include the following parts in addition to those of the conventional brake sys-
tem.
Wheel speed sensor which senses revolution speed of each wheel and outputs its signal.
ABS warning lamp which lights to inform abnormality when system fails to operate properly.
ABS hydraulic unit/control module assembly is incorporated ABS control module, ABS hydraulic unit (actua-
tor assembly), fail-safe relay and pump motor relay.
–ABS control module which sends operation signal to ABS hydraulic unit to control fluid pressure applied to
each wheel cylinder based on signal from each wheel speed sensor so as to prevent wheel from locking.
–ABS hydraulic unit which operates according to signal from ABS control module to control fluid pressure
applied to wheel cylinder of each 4 wheels.
–Fail-safe relay (solenoid valve) relay which supplies power to solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic unit and
pump motor relay.
–Pump motor relay which supplies power to pump motor in ABS hydraulic unit.
G sensor which detects body deceleration speed. (For 4WD model only)
This ABS is equipped with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system that controls a fluid pressure of rear
wheels to best condition, which is the same function as that of proportioning valve, by the signal from wheel sen-
sor independently of change of load due to load capacity and so on. And if the EBD system fails to operate prop-
erly, the brake warning lamp lights to inform abnormality.
