POWER STEERING DIAGNOSIS

POWER STEERING

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 9: Vibration

NOTE: A slight vibration may be felt when the stationary steer-
ing effort is made due to the condition of the road surface. To 
check whether the vibration actually exists or not, test-drive the 
vehicle on a dry concrete or asphalt surface. A very slight 
amount of vibration is not a malfunction.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP1. Check the tyres for out-of-balance.

Q: Is the check result OK?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Balance the tyres (Refer to GROUP 31, Wheel and

). 

And then go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check the fluid level.
(1)  Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, and then start the 

engine.

(2) Turn the steering wheel several times to raise the 

temperature of the fluid to approximately 50 

− 60°C (122 − 

140

°F).

(3)  With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the 

left and right several times.

(4) Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness. 

Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine is 
stopped, and while it is running.

Q: Is the check result OK?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Bleed the air (Refer to 

P.37-18
