GENERAL

EPS performs the conventional power steering function in case a fail has occurred in the system.
EPS electronically controls the current to the solenoid of by-pass valve by input sensor's signal to control
the hydraulic amount in cylinder chamber thereby varying the steering effort versus the hydraulic pressure
according to vehicle speed.
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING UNIT

EPS SOLENOID
SOLENOID VALVE
The input current is varying from 0A to 1A according to the vehicle speed and is controlled by EPS unit.
When the ignition switch is turned on, current is sent to the solenoid valve to push up the plunger and
accordingly the piston contacting the plunger is pushed up while overcoming the spring force. As the
vehicle speed increasing the current flow to the solenoid decreased pulling down the piston bottom by the
releasing spring force.
When the piston is pushed up, it closes the oil passing hole, therefore the power steering oil pressure is
delivered into the cylinder without any interruption. But when the hole is opened as the piston is pulling
down, some of the oil coming from the rotary valve is drained into reservoir via the hole inside the rotary
valve.

When it is necessary to remove the EPS gear box, be sure to disconnect the connector to avoid
damage.
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECK
1. With the engine stationary and the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position, apply a force of 0.5 kg
(1.1 lbs.) to the steering wheel in the peripheral direction.

Standard value : 30 mm or less

2. If the measured value exceeds the standard value. Inspect contact of the steering shaft and tie rod ball
joints.
STEERING ANGLE CHECK
1. Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle.
STANDARD VALUE
Inner wheel 37.15° ± 2°

Outer wheel 32.05° ± 2°

1. If the measured value is not within the standard value, adjust the toe-in and inspect again.

After adjusting the tie rod, assemble the bellows so they are not twisted.

STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECK (POWER STEERING)

1. Place the vehicle on a level surface and place the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position.
2. Set the engine speed to 1,000 rpm.
3. Measure the tangential force with a spring balance by turning the steering wheel clockwise and
counterclockwise one and a half turns.

Standard value : 3.3 kg (7.31 lbs) or less

4. If the stationary steering effort exceeds the standard value, check for belt slackness, damage,
insufficient oil, air mixed into oil, collapsed or twisted hoses, etc., and repair if found.

CHECKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTER (POWER

STEERING)
To check for the return of steering wheel to Center, carry out drive test and check the following points.
1. Make gentle and sharp turns and check to get a feel for that there is no appreciable difference in
steering effort and return to Center between right and left turns.
2. Drive at a speed of about 35 km/h turn the steering wheel 90° clockwise or counterclockwise, and
release the wheel a second or two later, if the wheel returns more than 70°, the return may be
considered good.

When the steering wheel is turned abruptly, momentary hard steering might result, but this does
not mean any problem. It is caused by low oil pump delivery during idling.

FLUID LEVEL CHECK (POWER STEERING)

1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, start the engine, and then turn the steering wheel several times
to raise the temperature of the fluid to approximately 50° - 60° C.

2. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the left and right several times.
3. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness.
4. Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine is stopped, and while it is running. If the fluid
level changes considerably, air bleeding should be done.

FLUID REPLACEMENT (POWER STEERING)

1. Raise the front wheels on a jack, and then support them with rigid racks.
2. Disconnect the return hose connection.
3. Connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain the oil into a container.
4. On vehicles with a patrol engine, disconnect the high tension cable. On vehicles with a diesel engine,
remove the fuel cut valve connector attached to the injection pump.
While operating the starter motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right
several times to drain all of the fluid.
5. Connect the return hoses securely, and then secure it with the clip.
6. Fill the oil reservoir with the specified fluid up to the lower position of the filter, and then bleed the air.

Specified fluid : PSF-3

BLEEDING
1. Jack up the front wheels and support them by using a rigid rack.
2. Manually turn the oil pump pulley a few times.
3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and to the right five or six times.
4. On vehicles with a patrol engine, disconnect the high tension cable. On vehicles with a diesel engine,
remove the fuel cut valve connector attached to the injection pump.
While operating the starter motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right
five or six times (for 15 to 20 seconds).

a. During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so that the level never falls below the lower
position of the filter.
b. If air bleeding is done while engine is running, the air will be broken up and absorbed into the
fluid; be sure to do the bleeding only while cranking.

5. On vehicles with a patrol engine, connect the ignition cable. On vehicles with a diesel engine, connect
the fuel cut valve connector attached to the injection pump. Start the engine (idling).
6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is up to the specified position on the level gauge.
8. Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level when the steering wheel is turned left and right.
9. Check whether or not the change in the fluid level is within 5 mm (0.20 in.) when the engine is stopped
and when it is running.

a. If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm (0.20 in.) or more, the air has not been completely bled
from the system, and thus must be bled completely.
b. If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is stopped, the air has not been completely bled.
c. If air bleeding is not complete, there will be abnormal noises from the pump and the flow-control
valve, and this condition could cause a lessening of the life of the pump, etc.

OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST CHECKING THE OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then connect the special tools.
2. Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several times while the vehicle is not moving so that the
temperature of the fluid rises to approximately 50-60° C (122-140° F).
3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000 ± 100 rpm.
4. Fully close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge and measure the oil pump relief pressure to
confirm that it is within the standard value range.

Standard value : 89 - 95 kg/cm²(1,265 - 1,351 psi)

 Pressure gauge shut off valve must not remain closed for more than 10 seconds.

5. If it is not within the standard value, replace the oil pump.

6. Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque.

Tightening torque :
55-65 N·m (5.5- 6.5 kg-m, 39 - 47 lb-ft)

7. Bleed the system.

CHECKING THE PRESSURE UNDER NO-LOAD CONDITIONS
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then connect the special tools.
2. Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several times while the vehicle is not moving so that the
temperature of the fluid raise to approximately 50-60° C (122-140° F).
3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000 ± 100 rpm.
4. Check whether or not the hydraulic pressure is the standard value when no-load conditions are created
by fully opening the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.

Standard value : 4 - 6 kg/cm² (56 - 85 psi)

5. If it is not within the standard value, the probable cause is a malfunction of the oil line or steering gear
box, so check these parts and repair as necessary.
6. Remove the special tools, and then tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque.
7. Bleed the system.

CHECKING POWER STEERING BELT TENSION

1. Press the V-belt, applying a pressure of 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the specified point, and measure the
deflection to confirm that it is within the standard value range.
 V-belt deflection [Standard value]
6-7 mm (0.236 - 0.275 in.)

2. Install the belt. Loosen the adjusting bolt A or flange nut and then adjust the tension of the belt with
adjusting bolt B.
After that, tighten the adjusting bolt or flange nut to the specified value.

a. When adjusting tension of the belt, tighten the adjusting bolt and flange nut temporarily so that
the pulley does not lean to one side, then adjust the tension.
a. It is not necessary in case of 2.5D engine to adjust belt tension. (Refer to EM Group).
