5) Check relief pressure

D Increase engine speed to about 1,500 r/min (rpm). Close
gauge valve gradually while watching pressure increase in-
dicated by gauge and take reading of relief pressure (maxi-
mum hydraulic pressure).
Relief pressure:
7200 – 7900 kPa
2
(72 – 79 kg/cm , 1024 – 1123 psi)
models
8200 – 8900 kPa
2
(82 – 89 kg/cm , 1166 – 1265 psi)
D When it is higher than specified values, possible cause is
malfunction of relief valve.
D When it is lower than specified values, possible cause is ei-
ther failure of P/S pump or setting of relief valve spring.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to close gauge valve for longer than 10
seconds.
D Next, open gauge valve fully and increase engine speed to
about 1,500 r/min. Then turn steering wheel to the left or
right fully and take reading of relief pressure.
Relief pressure:
7200 – 7900 kPa
2
(72 – 79 kg/cm , 1024 – 1123 psi)
models
8200 – 8900 kPa
2
(82 – 89 kg/cm , 1166 – 1265 psi)
D When it is higher than specified values, possible cause is
malfunction of relief valve.
D When it is lower than specified values, possible cause is fail-
ure in steering gear box. Replace gear box.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to hold steering wheel at fully turned
position for longer than 10 seconds.
STEERING RACK BOOT
Check boot for crack and damage which, if any, means possibility
of rusty gear, entry of dust or lack of grease. Also, check if any of
such faulty conditions exists.
