Standard value: 25 mm (0.98 in.)
STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECK (POWER STEERING)
E37FFAG
- 1. Place the vehicle on a level surface and place the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position.
- 2. Set the engine speed to 1,000 r/min.
Caution After checking the engine r/min., there must be a return to the standard idling r/min.
3. Measure the tangential force with a spring balance by turning the steering wheel clockwise and counterclockwise one and a half turns.
Standard value: 37 N (3.7 kg, 8.21 lbs.) or less
4. If the stationary steering effort exceeds the standard value, check for belt slackness, damage, insufficient oil, air mixed into oil, collapsed or twisted hoses, etc., and repair if found.
CHECKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTRE (POWER STEERING) E37FGAA
To check for the return of steering wheel to centre, carry out drive test and check the following points.
- Make gentle and sharp turns and check to get a feel for that there is no appreciable difference in steering effort and return to centre between right and left turns.
- 2. Drive at a speed of about 35 km/h (22 mph), turn the steering wheel 90° clockwise or counterclockwise, and release the wheel a second or two later. If the wheel returns more than 70°, the return may be considered good.
NOTE
When the steering wheel is turned abruptly, momentary hard steering might result, but this does not mean any problem. It is caused by low oil pump delivery during idling.

FLUID LEVEL CHECK (POWER STEERING) E37FIAD
- Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, start the engine, and then turn the steering wheel several times to raise the temperature of the fluid to approximately 50–60°C (122–140°F).
- 2. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the left and right several times.
- 3. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness.
- 4. Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine is stopped, and while it is running. If the fluid level changes considerably, air bleeding should be done.
FLUID REPLACEMENT (POWER STEERING) E37FJAG
- 1. Raise the front wheels on a jack, and then support them with rigid racks.
- 2. Disconnect the return hose.
- 3. Connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain the oil into a container.
- 4. On vehicles with a petrol engine, disconnect the hightension cable. On vehicles with a diesel engine, remove the fuel cut valve connector attached to the injection pump.
While operating the starting motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right several times to drain all of the fluid.
Caution
Be careful not to position the high-tension cable near the carburettor or the delivery pipe.
- 5. Connect the return hoses securely, and then secure it with the clip.
- 6. Fill the oil reservoir with the specified fluid up to the lower position of the filter, and then bleed the air.
Specified fluid: Automatic transmission fluid DEX-RON or DEXRON II
BI FEDING
- 1 Jack up the front wheels and support them by using a rigid rack
- 2. Manually turn the oil pump pulley a few times.
- 3 Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and to the right five or six times
- 4. On vehicles with a petrol engine, disconnect the hightension cable. On vehicles with a diesel engine, remove the fuel cut valve connector attached to the injection pump. While operating the starting motor intermittently. turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right five or six times (for 15 to 20 seconds).
Caution
- 1. During air bleeding, refill the fluid supply so that the level never falls below the lower position of the filter
- 2. If air bleeding is done while engine is running. the air will be broken up and absorbed into the fluid; be sure to do the bleeding only while cranking.
- 5. On vehicles with a petrol engine, connect the ignition cable. On vehicles with a diesel engine, connect the fuel cut valve connector attached to the injection pump. Start the engine (idling).
- 6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
- 7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is up to the specified position on the level gauge.
- 8. Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level when the steering wheel is turned left and right.
- 9. Check whether or not the change in the fluid level is within 5 mm (0.20 in.) when the engine is stopped and when it is running.
Caution
- 1. If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm (0.20 in.) or more, the air has not been completely bled from the system, and thus must be bled completelv.
- 2. If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is stopped, the air has not been completely bled.
- 3. If air bleeding is not complete, there will be abnormal noises from the pump and the flow-control valve, and this condition could cause a lessening of the life of the pump, etc.
