Pre-Test Preparation

  1. With belt tension correct, disconnect power steering pump pressure hose. Keep hose end raised to prevent fluid loss. Connect Power Steering Analyzer (014-00207) to power steering pump high pressure hose with Power Steering Analyzer Fittings (D87P-33610-A1 & -A2). Connect other hose from valve side of analyzer to steering gear inlet.
  2. Open valve on power steering analyzer. Run engine until fluid reaches normal operating temperature of 140-176°F (60-80°C). Check fluid level. Add fluid as necessary. Ensure all air is removed from fluid.
