Chery A15 Maintenance Manual
3. Fault Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
(1). Check tire pressure and inflate as required in case of low pressure.
(2). Check oil pipe connections of steering hydraulic system, and tighten them if
leakage is found; check oil pipes, and replace damaged, distorted or cracked ones.
Adjust pretightening force of rack convex piece or replace steering gear rack if
necessary.
(3). Check steering gear rack and the turning condition at the center wheel position,
and check the rack bent and the adjustment of rack convex piece in case of excessive
turning torque. Adjust pretightening force of rack convex piece or replace steering
gear rack if necessary.
(4). Check steering control valve to see if there is any blockage or bad returning, and
replace the steering control valve when necessary.
(5). Disassemble and inspect hydraulic cylinder, and replace damaged parts.
(6). Make adjustments on ball pin at each connection of steering transmission
mechanism to insure smooth operation.
(II). Steering Wheel Vibration
1. Symptom
Steering wheel vibrates during operation when the engine is working, especially at the
extreme positions.
2. Possible Causes
(1). Steering oil pump belt skids.
(2). Too low oil tank level.
(3). Air enters steering hydraulic circuit.
(4). Insufficient steering oil pump output pressure.
(5). Blocked pressure regulator piston in steering oil pump.
3. Fault Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
(1). Check steering oil pump transmission belt to see if there is any skidding or
damage, and tighten or replace the belt when necessary.
(2). Check oil tank level for consistency, and add steering oil as required.
(3). Check all pipe joints in steering hydraulic system and eliminate any leakage
Chery A15 Maintenance Manual
found, then exhaust the air in oil circuit.
(4). Check steering oil pump output pressure. In case of underpressure, disassemble
the oil pump and check for wear or internal leakage, check pressure limiting valve and
pressure regulator piston for leakage or blockage, pressure regulator spring for weak
spring force, and oil pump sealing for damage. Identify fault cause and repair, or
replace oil pump if necessary.
(III). Light or Off-tracking Steering Wheel in Straight Running
1. Symptom
Vehicle is not going right ahead when running on a straight line and keeps going off
track towards one side.
2. Possible Causes
(1). Damaged or too soft steering control valve torsion bar is not able to overcome
reverse transmission resistance of steering gear, keeping valve bush from timely
returning.
(2). Movement of valve plug and valve bush is retarded due to contaminated oil.
(3). Steering control valve plug deviates from center position.
(4). Blocked pressure regulator piston of steering pump overflows pump oil and
causes large pressure difference between left and right cavities of power cylinder.
(5). Too large joint clearance of steering transmission system, or loose connecting
pieces, or severe wear.
3. Fault Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
(1). First check steering transmission mechanism for loose connecting piece, too large
component clearance and loose transmission to eliminate steering transmission
mechanism faults.
(2). Check if the oil is contaminated. New or overhauled vehicles sometimes have
contaminated oil for poor compliance with the oil-replacing requirement during
running-in period. Any contaminated oil shall be replaced.
(3). Check steering control valve. First turn the steering wheel with the engine not
working, and determine by hand feeling if the steering control valve is operating
smoothly. Disassemble and inspect in case of suspected situation.

(4). Finally check the performance of steering oil pump pressure regulator to see if the
regulator piston is blocked. Check steering oil pump output pressure to facilitate
determination when necessary.
(IV). Steering Noise
1. Symptom
Too large noise occurs during steering.
2. Possible Causes
Too large noise from steering system during steering is considered to be a normal
phenomenon, and it is common that steering pump makes noise in the first 2-3
minutes after the engine is started in cold weather (-20ºC or lower). However, too
much noise or those affect steering performance are deemed as fault. The cause for
such fault may include:
(1). Loose steering transmission mechanism causes too large noise.
(2). Damaged or worn-out power steering pump or air in the oil causes too large
noise.
(3). Loose or skidding power steering pump transmission belt causes too large noise.
(4). Poor performance of steering control valve.
(5). Loose oil pipe connection or cracked oil pipe.
(6). Blocked oil filler strainer or too much deposition in hydraulic circuit.
3. Fault Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
(1). If a “click” sound is heard when steering, it may be caused by loose steering post
shaft adapter, steering knuckle tie rod or ball joint. Check these parts and fasten or
replace them if necessary. If steering post shaft wiggles badly, the steering post
assembly shall be replaced. Loose steering gear shall be fastened, and lubricant sites
at connections shall be lubricated. In addition, loose steering pump transmission belt
also makes “click” sound, so also check the belt and tighten or replace it to eliminate
the noise.
(2). If a “quack” sound is heard when steering especially when turning the steering
wheel from one extreme position to the other, it may be caused by skidding power
steering pump transmission belt. Check the belt tension and wearing condition, and
Chery A15 Maintenance Manual
tighten or replace it if necessary.
(3). If a “cluck” sound is heard when steering, it may be the aerodynamic noise
caused by air bubbles in flowing oil. First check the oil level, and add to the specified
level if it is too low before checking and eliminating fault. Then check to see if the
hose is damaged or the clamp is loose, allowing air to enter the system. Replace
damaged hose or clamp when necessary. In case air is found in power steering system
oil, exhaust the air to eliminate aerodynamic noise. If a “hissing” or a squealing sound
is made by steering pump while there is no air leakage in hydraulic system with the
transmission belt tension being normal, it may be caused by blocked oil circuit or
worn-out or damaged oil pump, which shall be repaired or replaced.
(4). If a large “hissing” sound is heard from steering gear when steering wheel is at
extreme positions or slowly turned in situ, it may be caused by bad performance of
steering control valve. Replace the control valve and recheck to eliminate the noise.
