Minimum Pump Flow Test
- Install Power Steering Analyzer (014-00230). See Figure . Decrease engine speed to 600 RPM. Slowly close shutoff valve to increase pressure to 1200 psi (84.4 kg/cm2 ). Record flow rate at 130°F (54°C).
- If flow rate is less than 2.2 gallons (8.3L) per minute, pump may need service, especially if flow rate at 2200 RPM is less than specification.
