Low Speed Assist

  1. Check fluid level and belt tension. Start engine and let idle. Turn steering wheel lock-to-lock several times to warm fluid. Attach spring tension scale to steering wheel at outer end of spoke.
  2. Make sure vehicle is on a clean, dry surface. With engine at idle, pull on tension scale until tires begin to turn. Reading should be no more than 4 lbs. (1.81 kg).
  3. If reading is higher than specified, stop engine. Disconnect large hose between control unit and speed sensor at sensor. Plug hose and sensor fitting.
  4. Start engine and run at idle speed. Measure pull as described above. Replace sensor if scale reads less than 4 lbs. (1.81 kg). If reading is greater than 4 lbs. (1.81 kg.), check gear box and pump.
