Precautions

AGS0003E

BEFORE DIAGNOSING THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM, ENSURE THAT
Vehicle Stopped

1.

Power steering components (gears, oil pump, pipes, etc.) are free from leakage, and that oil level is cor-
rect.

2.

Tires are inflated to specified pressure and are of specified size, and that steering wheel is a genuine Nis-
san part.

3.

Suspension utilizes the original design, and is free of modifications which increase vehicle weight.

4.

Wheel alignment is adjusted properly.

Vehicle in Operation

1.

Understand the symptom.

2.

Engine is operation properly

Description

AGS0003F

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The power steering system is a twin orifice type, which uses a vehicle-speed sensing, electronic control
design. Solenoid valve sensitivity is controlled in response to vehicle speed to achieve optimum steering effort.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION

The fail-safe function operates to regulate solenoid valve operation in response to engine speed, thereby
maintaining the required steering force.

Fail-Safe Input Conditions

NOTE:
When the engine is revved up to 1,500 rpm or more for at least 10 seconds with vehicle at standstill, the fail-
safe function operates; however, this is not a matter of concern. The fail-safe function can be released by driv-
ing vehicle of a speed of greater than 1.4 km/h (0.9 MPH) or by turning ignition switch from “OFF” to “ON”.

SGIA0326E

Fail-safe input conditions

Release conditions

No vehicle speed signal entered for at least 10 seconds while
driving at an engine speed of greater than 1,500 rpm.

●

A vehicle speed signal of greater than 1.4 km/h (0.9 MPH) is
entered

●

Ignition switch is turned from

″

OFF

″

to

″

ON

″

.

A vehicle speed signal of greater than 30 km/h (19 MPH) or
abruptly drops below 2 km/h (1 MPH).
