2. OIL PUMP PRESSURE
Check the oil pump pressure to locate any defect in oil pump.
1. Unscrew the pressure line fitting in power steering pump.
2. Install the pressure gauge between the power steering
pump and the power steering oil pressure line.
3. Place the shift lever to neutral position.
4. Apply the parking brake.
5. Open the valve in pressure gauge.
6. Start the engine and let it run at idle speed.
7. Turn the steering wheel several times so that the oil
temperature reaches to normal operating level. (50 ~ 80
°C)
8. Fully close the valve in pressure gauge and measure the
oil pressure.
10. If the pump pressure is in specified range, the pump is
normal. If not, replace the power steering pump.
9. Measure the oil pressure with the gauge valve fully closed.
[Notice]
Before checking the pressure, check the oil level and belt
tension. Prepare the empty container to collect the spilled
oil during the service.
[Notice]
To prevent internal damage, do not close the gauge valve
over 10 seconds.

3. OIL LEVEL CHECK
The power steering oil level have to be checked by two
conditions; one is checked at normal operating temperature,
and the other one is checked when it is cooled. If the differ-
ence between two measurements is below 5 mm and the level
is between HOT and ADD level, it’s normal. If it is over 5 mm,
bleed air from the system.
1. Place the vehicle on a flat ground and start the engine
and let it run at idle speed.
2. Turn the steering wheel several times so that the oil
temperature reaches to normal operating level.
3. Place the steering wheel at straight ahead direction.
4. Measure the oil level in the power steering oil reservoir.
5. Adjust the oil level between HOT and ADD.
