12.4 POWER STEERING HYDRAULIC PUMP
• With DDC Series 60 Engine
For maintenance of the power steering hydraulic
pump, refer to the "TRW - Power Steering Pump
Service Manual" annexed to this section.
13. DRIVING TIPS
In order to maximize power steering pump service
life, do not attempt to turn the steering wheel
when the vehicle is stationary, and especially
when service brakes are applied (wheel locking
will oppose the effect of steering geometry which
tends to make the front wheels rotate in opposite
directions).
Persisting in turning, or maintaining the steering
wheel with an extra effort, could make the
hydraulic system work at the relief pressure, and
consequently, cause the hydraulic fluid to become
overheated.
CAUTION
Never maintain the hydraulic system at the
relief pressure for longer than 5/10 seconds to
avoid damaging the power steering pump.
NOTE
Unequal or low tire pressure, oversize tires, and
vehicle overloading are some of the causes that
may increase steering effort.
