What Causes the Steering Pump Noise Fault?
1 Answers
The causes of steering pump noise fault are: 1. Air entering the steering system; 2. Improper fit between the flow control valve hole and valve core; 3. Dirt jamming between the safety valve cone and valve seat sealing surface; 4. Non-circular sealing surface or presence of gaps. The automotive steering pump is engine-driven to convert low-pressure oil from the oil tank into high-pressure oil delivered to the steering control valve. The functions of the steering pump are: 1. As the power source of hydraulic power steering system, it reduces driver operation intensity and improves vehicle maneuverability; 2. Controls internal pressure of power steering pipelines through pressure safety valve to ensure steering system safety; 3. Regulates steering system flow through flow control valve to maintain proper steering feel during high-speed driving.
