Checking For Wear Of Power Steering Pump Internal Components

  1. Place gear selector in PARK (or NEUTRAL) with the wheels chocked.
  2. With the engine idling, have a helper turn the steering wheel.
  3. Using an electronic listening tool, determine if noise is coming from the pump.
  4. Increase the engine speed and have a helper turn the steering wheel. Does the noise change with load?
  5. If noise exists, the power steering reservoir may have low fluid level. If the fluid is low, inspect lines, hoses, pump and gear for leaks. Repair all leaks before proceeding.
  6. Verify proper power steering fluid level.
    NOTE:

    Electro Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) systems require power steering fluid which meets recommended specification.

  7. Road test the vehicle.
  8. If the concern is still present, refer to the power steering flow and pressure test, and the steering diagnosis charts.
  9. If the concern is still present, replace the power steering pump.
