| 1 - GAUGE HOSE |
| 2 - TUBE |
| 3 - ADAPTER FITTINGS |
| 4 - ANALYZER |
The following procedures are used to test the operation of the power steering and hydraulic fan systems on the vehicle. This test will provide the gallons per minute (GPM) or flow rate of the power steering pump along with any maximum relief pressure. Perform test anytime a power steering system problem is present. This test will determine if the power steering pump, hydraulic fan, and power steering gear are not functioning properly. It will also determine if the flow coming out of the hydraulic fan motor is sufficient for the power steering gear. The following pressure and flow test is performed using the Power Steering Analyzer Tool kit 6815 (4) and Adapter kit 8630.
