Fig. 7: Identifying Shut-Off Valve And Pressure Control Valve 6. Fully open the pressure control valve (B). 7. Start the engine and let it idle. 8. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm the fluid to operating temperature at 158°F (70°C). 9. Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engine is idling. If the pump is in good condition, the pressure should be no more than 1,470 kPa (15.0 kgf/cm 2 , 213 psi). If the pressure is too high, check the outlet hose or valve body unit (see Steering System Troubleshooting). 10. Raise the engine speed to 3,000 rpm, and measure the fluid pressure. If the pump is in good condition, the pressure should be at least 1,470 kPa (15.0 kgf/cm 2 , 213 psi). If the pressure is too high, repair or replace the pump. 11. Lower the engine speed, and let it idle. Close the shut-off valve, then close the pressure control valve gradually until the pressure gauge needle is stable. Read the pressure. 12. Immediately open the shut-off valve fully. If the pump is in good condition, the gauge should read at least 7,460-8,140 kPa (76-83 kgf/cm 2 , 1,080-1,180 psi). A low reading means pump output is too low for full assist. Repair or replace the pump.
