(2) Unclip the connector from the gear end cap.
(3) Remove the power steering pressure hose (Fig.
3) from the power steering gear.
(4) Remove the power steering return hose (Fig. 3)
from the power steering gear.
(5) Using a 1–5/16 inch crow foot, (Fig. 4) loosen
the solenoid control valve. Then by hand, remove the
solenoid control valve from the power steering gear.
INSTALL
(1) Inspect the O-ring seals on the solenoid control
valve to be sure they are not damaged. If the O-rings
are not damaged, moisten the O-rings using only
fresh clean Mopar Power Steering Fluid, or equiva-
lent.
(2) Install the solenoid control valve into the steer-
ing gear by hand, until it is fully seated into the
steering gear.
(3) Using the 1–5/16 inch crow foot as shown in
(Fig. 5) tighten the solenoid control valve to a torque
of 14 N·m (124 in. lbs.).
(4) Reconnect the power steering hoses at the gear
(Fig. 3). Tighten both hose tube nuts to 31 N·m (275
in lbs.).
(5) Route the solenoid control valve wire harness
over the top of the gear and clip it into place on the
gear end cap.
(6) Connect the wiring harness connector. Be sure
the wiring harness connector seal is in good
condition before installing the connector in the
control module.
(7) Road test vehicle, referring to the test indi-
cated in the Body Diagnostic Manual, to confirm cor-
rect operation of the variable-assist speed-
proportional power steering gear.
