  1. Install Power Steering Analyzer (014-00230). See Figure . Ensure shutoff valve is fully open. Start engine and increase speed to 2200 RPM. When fluid temperature reaches 130°F (55°C), record flow rate and pressure.
  2. If flow is less than 3.5 gallons (13.2L) per minute, verify correct pump is installed. If correct pump is installed, continue test.
  3. If pressure exceeds 80 psi (5.6 kg/cm2 ), check lines for kinks or obstructions. If none are found and pressure remains high, proceed to MINIMUM PUMP FLOW TEST  .
