Pump Pressure Check

  1. Check fluid level and belt tension. Adjust as necessary. Disconnect outlet hose from pump. Install Pump Joint Adapter (07GAK-SE00110 ) onto pump outlet fitting. See Fig 1 .
  2. Install Hose Joint Adapter (07GAK-SE00120 ) onto outlet hose. Install Pressure Gauge Set (07406-0010000 ) between pump and hose joint adapters. Fully open shutoff and pressure control valves.
  3. Start and idle engine. Turn steering wheel lock to lock several times to warm fluid. Completely close shutoff valve.
  4. Gradually close pressure control valve until pressure gauge needle stabilizes. Read pressure. Immediately open shutoff valve. Pump pressure should be at least 1140 psi (80 kg/cm2 ). Repair or replace pump if pressure is not within specification.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to pump, DO NOT keep shutoff valve closed for longer than 5 seconds.
