  2. Bleed the air, and then start the engine and turn the steering wheel several times so that the fluid temperature can rise to approximately 50-60°C (122-132°F) operating temperature.
  3. Increase the engine speed to 1000 +/- 100 RPM.
  4. Close the shut-off valve of the special tool and measure the fluid pressure to confirm that it is within the standard value range.

    Standard value

    1. Relief pressure: 8.3-8.8 MPa (85-90 kg.cm2 , 1209-1280 psi)
    CAUTION: Do not keep the shut-off valve on the pressure gauge closed for more than ten seconds
  5. Remove the special tools, and tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque.

    Tightening torque

    1. 55-65 N.m (550-650 kg.cm, 40.6-47.9 lb.ft)
  6. Bleed the system
