DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
Fig. 2 Power Steering Pump Flow/Pressure Tester
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing power steering pump maximum pressure
output and flow control valve operation. Do not
leave valve closed for more than 5 seconds as the
pump could be damaged.
(8) Close valve fully three times and record high-
est pressure indicated each time. All three read-
ings must be above specifications and within
345 kPa (50 psi) of each other.
NOTE: Power steering pump maximum relief pres-
sure is 8240 to 8920 kPa (1195 to 1293 psi.).
• If power steering pump pressures are above
specifications, but not within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each
other, then replace power steering pump.

• If pressures are within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each
other but below specifications, then replace power
steering pump.
CAUTION:
against the stops for more than 5 seconds at a time
because pump damage will result.
(9) Open test valve. Turn steering wheel to the
extreme left and right positions until against the
stops, recording the highest indicated pressure at
each position. Compare pressure gauge readings to
power steering pump specifications. If the highest
output pressures are not the same against either
stop, the steering gear is leaking internally and must
be replaced.
