b. Connect SST as shown in the illustration.
SST
09640-10010 (09641-01010, 09641-01030, 09641-01060)
NOTICE:
Make sure that the valve of SST is in the open position.
c. Bleed the power steering system.
d. Start the engine and idle it.
e. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to raise the fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature:
80°C (176°F)
f. With the engine idling, close the valve of SST and observe the reading on SST.
Standard fluid pressure:
10000 to 10700 kPa (102 to 109 kgf/cm
2
, 1450 to 1552 psi)
NOTICE:
Do not keep the valve closed for more than 10 seconds.
Do not allow the fluid temperature to become too high.
If the pressure is less than the standard, check for fluid leaks and replace parts
as necessary.
g. With the engine idling, fully open the valve.
h. Measure the fluid pressure at engine speeds of 1000 rpm and 3000 rpm.
Difference in fluid pressure:
500 kPa (5.1 kgf/cm
2
, 73 psi) or less
NOTICE:
Do not turn the steering wheel.
If the pressure difference is above the specified range, check for fluid leaks and
replace parts as necessary.
