3. Bleed the air from the system. (See AIR BLEEDING .)
4. Open the gauge valve fully.
5. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully left and right to raise the fluid temperature to 50-60°C
{122-140°F} .
6. Close the gauge valve completely.
7. Increase the engine speed to 1,000-1,500 rpm and measure the fluid pressure generated by the oil pump.
If the pressure is not within the specification, repair or replace the oil pump component.
Oil pump fluid pressure
7.55-8.05 MPa {77.0-82.0 kgf/cm

, 1095-1167 psi}
CAUTION:
If the valve is left closed for more than 5 seconds, the fluid
temperature will rise excessively and adversely affect the oil

STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN INSPECTION
STEERING WHEEL PLAY INSPECTION
1. With the wheels in the straight-ahead position, gently turn the steering wheel to the left and right and
verify that the play is within the specification.
If the play exceeds the specification, either the steering joints are worn or the backlash of the
steering gear is excessive. Correct as necessary.
Steering wheel play
