What does it mean to check the power steering system?
1 Answers
The appearance of a "check power steering system" message indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's computer system. When this situation occurs, it is necessary to inspect the vehicle's power steering system: 1. Check steering operation force: Inspect for belt slippage or damage, whether the steering pump's output pressure or oil volume is below standard, if air has entered the hydraulic fluid, or if there are any issues with the oil pipes being crushed or twisted. 2. System pressure inspection: Connect the pressure gauge and throttle valve, open the throttle valve, start the engine and let it idle. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right extreme positions while reading the pressure on the gauge. The standard value is 6.8~8.2 MPa; if the standard values for left and right turns are not met, the steering gear should be repaired or the assembly replaced.
