Power steering - pressure test

$% 57.90.10.01

Check

1. Position absorbent cloth to catch spillage.
2. Remove bolt securing PAS high pressure pipe 

clip to PAS pump.

3. Loosen union securing high pressure pipe to 

PAS pump and release pipe.

4. K1.8 models: Fit adaptor LRT-57-034A to high 

pressure port of PAS pump.

5. KV6 & Td4 models: Fit adaptor LRT-57-042 to 

high pressure port of PAS pump.

6. Fit adaptor LRT-57-035 to existing high 

pressure hose.

7. Fit hose LRT-57-002 to each adaptor.
8. Fit pressure gauge LRT-57-005 to test valve 

LRT-57-001

9. Connect hoses LRT-57-002 to LRT-57-001 

and tighten unions.

10. Ensure steering system and test equipment is 

free from leaks.

11. Maintain maximum fluid level during test.
12. With the test valve open, start the engine.
13. Pressure at idle should be between 5 and 7  

bar.

14. With the engine at idle, slowly turn the steering 

wheel and hold on full lock.

15. Repeat procedure for other side.
16. Test pressure should rise significantly as 

steering wheel is rotated and continue to rise as 
full lock is approached. For full lock  pressures, 
refer to general data section.

 GENERAL DATA, Steering.

17. With the engine at idle, release steering wheel. 

For idle pressure, refer to general data section.  
 

 + 

 GENERAL DATA, Steering.

18. Pressures outside the above tolerance 

indicates a fault.

19. To determine if fault is in steering pump or 

steering rack, close the test valve for a 
maximum of 5  seconds.

CAUTION: Pump damage will occur if test 
valve is closed for longer periods.

20. If gauge does not register correct reading, 

suspect faulty pump.

21. If PAS pump pressure is correct and steering is 

heavy at idle and becomes light as engine RPM 
is increased, suspect pump flow rate.

22. If maximum pump pressure is correct, suspect 

steering rack.

23. On completion stop engine and remove test 

equipment.

24. Clean PAS pump and pipe union.
25. Fit new 'O' ring to high pressure pipe, align to 

PAS pump and tighten union to 25 Nm (18 
lbf.ft). 

26. Fit bolt securing high pressure pipe clip and 

tighten to 8  Nm (6 lbf.ft).

27. Check and top-up PAS fluid level.
