REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
POWER STEERING PUMP2. 5L DIESEL
NOTE: The power steering pump is mounted below
the fuel pump on the left side of the engine. The
vehicle should be raised on a hoist to access the
pump from below.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove bol t securi ng A/C l i ne retai ner bracket
to top of the val ve cover.
(2) Remove serpenti ne dri ve bel t. Refer to Group 7,
Cool i ng System, for procedure.
(3) Remove power steeri ng pump pul l ey. Use a hex
wrench to secure the power steeri ng shaft whi l e
removi ng the pul l ey bol t wi th a box wrench. (Fi g. 1).
CAUTION: Do not use an impact wrench to remove
the pump pulley this can cause rear pump seal
damage. Do not secure power steering shaft with a
wrench on the H coupling to the A/C compressor
this can cause rear pump seal damage.
(4) Remove H coupl i ng power steeri ng pump shaft
pi nch bol t.
(5) Remove H coupl i ng bol ts (2) from power steer-
i ng pump si de of coupl i ng.
(6) Remove H coupl i ng bol ts (2) from A/C com-
pressor si de of coupl i ng.
(7) Loosen A/C compressor bol ts and separate com-
pressor from bracket. Do not di sconnect A/C hoses.
(8) Remove l eft engi ne mount bracket bol ts (4).

(9) Remove l eft motor mount frame bracket (Fi g.
2). Refer to Group 9, Engi ne, for procedure.
NOTE: Some engine mounts are welded to the
frame bracket, and cannot be separated from the
bracket. In this case, it may be necessary to remove
the steering shaft on LHD vehicles to be able to
remove the bracket.
(10) Remove bol ts (2) securi ng the power steeri ng
pump to the power steeri ng bracket.
(11) Di sconnect power steeri ng pump suppl y hose
at the pump and drai n fl ui d.
(12) Di sconnect power steeri ng pressure hose at
the steeri ng gear assembl y.
(13) Remove power steeri ng pump.
INSTALLATION
(1) I nstal l pump on engi ne.
(2) Ti ghten pump bracket bol ts to 47 Nm (35 ft.
l bs.).
(3) Reverse the above procedures i n steps 12
through 1 to compl ete i nstal l ati on.
(4) Add power steeri ng fl ui d and perform Power
Steeri ng Pump I ni ti al Operati on.

SPEED PROPORTIONAL STEERING CONTROL
MODULE
The control modul e i s mounted to a bracket on the
passenger si de of the front cowl panel just l eft of the
steeri ng col umn (Fi g. 1). A 14-way connector i s
attached to the modul e. The modul e moni tors steer-
i ng wheel speed and vehi cl e speed to determi ne the
amount of power steeri ng assi st needed. The modul e
control s power steeri ng assi st by sendi ng a 12-vol t
duty-cycl e si gnal (pul sed on and off) to the Speed
Proporti onal Steeri ng Sol enoi d.

STEERING WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
The Steeri ng Wheel Speed Sensor i s mounted on
the steeri ng col umn shaft bel ow the cl ock spri ng (Fi g.
2). The sensor i s used to moni tor steeri ng wheel
assi st.
SPEED PROPORTIONAL STEERING SOLENOID
The sol enoi d i s mounted to the power steeri ng
pump outl et port (Fi g. 3). The sol enoi d control s pump
output vol ume by movi ng a meteri ng rod i n and out
of a fi xed ori fi ce. The SPSCM energi zes and de-ener-
gi zes the sol enoi d to move the meteri ng rod up to 250
ti mes per second. By varyi ng the ti me energi zed ver-
sus de-energi ze steeri ng pump output vol ume and

POWER STEERING GEAR
The steeri ng gear used wi th Speed Proporti onal
Steeri ng has a speci al spool val ve. The val ve provi des

servi ceabl e component.
CAUTION: A Speed Proportional Steering gear
should not be interchanged with any other steering
gear.
