Hydraulic pressure in the GUR system

Check of pressure

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

    After careful cleaning of connection of a hose of high pressure with the pump of the hydraulic booster, disconnect a hose from the pump and install the special equipment (the oil pressure sensor, connecting branch pipes). Shade each nut with the corresponding moment of an inhaling.
      Special tool:
        (A) — 09915-77411 (the oil pressure sensor) (B) — 09915-77420

Be accurate, do not damage a conditioner radiator during performance of service works (if it is equipped).

    Check each connection for leak of liquid and distil air. See the Procedure of a razvozdushivaniye of system in this Chapter.

    At the idling engine, rotate a wheel for warming up of the engine until temperature in a tank of the hydraulic booster reaches 50 – 60 °C (122 - 140 °F).
    Check the return pressure, measuring hydraulic pressure idling, without impact on a steering wheel. Return pressure: below, than 1000 kPa (10 kg/cm2, 142 psi). If the return pressure is higher than the specified values, check the adjusting valve and hydraulic tubes for blockages.

    Check unloading pressure. Increase engine turns up to 1500 min.-1. Gradually close the valve, watching increase in pressure on the manometer and estimate the unloading pressure (the maximum hydraulic pressure).
      Unloading pressure:
        6200 – 7000 kPa (62 – 70 kg/cm2, 882 – 995 psi) — for the G16 engine 6700 – 7500 kPa (67 – 75 kg/cm2, 953 – 1067 psi) — for the J20 engine 7050 – 7850 kPa
    If pressure stated above, then malfunction of the backpressure valve is possible. If pressure provided below, then malfunction of the pump of the hydraulic booster or jamming of a spring of the backpressure valve is possible.

Do not block the manometer valve longer than for 10 seconds.

    Then open the manometer valve completely and increase turns up to 1500 min.-1. Then completely turn out a wheel to the left or to the right and estimate unloading pressure.
      Unloading pressure:
        6200 – 7000 kPa. (62 – 70 kg/cm2, 882 – 995 psi) — for the G16 engine 6700 – 7500 kPa (67 – 75 kg/cm2, 953 – 1067 psi) — for the J20 engine 7050 – 7850 kPa
    If pressure stated above, then malfunction of the backpressure valve is possible. If pressure provided below, then malfunction of a steering rack is possible. Replace a steering rack.

Never detain a steering wheel in extreme situation more than for 10 seconds.
