Power Steering Pump

Begin power steering pump repair by hoisting the vehicle to a position with NEUTRAL and positioning it on an appropriate rack. A suitable suction device should be used to draw power steering fluid out from the reservoir before you start removing the RH inner fender splash shield. The Stretchy Belt Remover should be utilized to place the power steering pump pulley belt on the pulley at a 152 mm (5.984 in) distance during a clockwise-turn of the crankshaft. Fold the Stretchy Belt Remover underneath the power steering pump belt and quickly extract it to eliminate the belt. Vehicle models equipped with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) require removal of four bolts that leads to setting the driveshaft aside. A jack should be used to support the subframe rear before removing the subframe support brackets, 2 middle subframe nuts and 2 nuts and 4 bolts that hold the brackets and subframe together which will lower the entire rear section of the subframe. Discharge the power steering pump supply hose as well as the Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch electrical connector before you disconnect the pressure line from the power steering pump and discard both seals. The power steering pump requires removal when its 3 securing bolts are unstowed. Position the new power steering pump and fasten it with three bolts which should be tightened to 24 Nm (18 lb-ft). When you disconnect the pressure line you should install new seals before placing the pressure line correctly and installing the banjo bolt with 48 Nm (35 lb-ft) torque. Reconnect the PSP switch electrical connector together with the power steering pump supply hose while securing its clamp. Position the subframe in the air with a jack and fasten the middle subframe nuts to 150 Nm (111 lb-ft) torque setting before finishing the installation by tightening all subframe support bracket nuts to 150 Nm (111 lb-ft) torque and subframe support bracket bolts to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). Place driveshaft in position before installing its 4 bolts which must be tightened to 70 Nm (52 lb-ft). Flawless power steering belt installation depends on correct placement on the crankshaft and power steering pulley before using the Power Steering Belt Installation Tool to guide the belt onto the pump pulley and achieving crankshaft clockwise rotation. Place back the RH inner fender splash shield and follow up by filling the power steering system.

Service and repair operations for the power steering pump should start with draining the power steering fluid from the reservoir through a suitable suction tool. Discontinue the step by removing the accessory drive belt. The power steering supply hose separation from the pump requires unclipping the clamp then disconnecting the electrical connector from the power steering pressure switch. The repairing process requires disconnecting the power steering pressure line from the pump by removing its banjo bolt and discarding both seals. Use 48 Nm torque on the banjo bolt during its reinstall process. Begin by first removing and then putting the power steering pump aside after taking out the three secure bolts which need to be tightened to 24 Nm (18 ft. lbs) before reinstallation. Installation of new seals becomes essential during every pump disconnect operation involving the power steering pressure line. The power steering system requires a final operation of filling the system to complete this service.
