HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM(a) The vehicle is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and frontpassenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in correct sequence could cause the SRS tounexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (includ-ing removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary noticefor the supplemental restraint system (See page 601).5105L02512POWER STEERING POWER STEERING SYSTEM1537Author : Date :2004 COROLLA (RM1037U)PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLEHINT:Use the table below to help you find the cause of the problem.

INSPECT DRIVE BELT(a) Visually check the belt for excessive wear, frayed cords,etc.If any defect is found, replace the drive belt.HINT:Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If themissing chunks from the ribs are found on the belt, it should bereplaced.2. BLEED POWER STEERING SYSTEM(a) Check the fluid level.(b) Jack up the front of the vehicle and support it with thestands.(c) Turn the steering wheel.(1) With the engine stopped, turn the wheel slowly fromlock to lock several times.(d) Lower the vehicle.(e) Start the engine.(1) Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.(f) Turn the steering wheel.(1) With the engine idling, turn the wheel to left or rightfull lock position and keep it there for 2 3 seconds,then turn the wheel to the opposite full lock positionand keep it there for 2 3 seconds.(2) Repeat (1) several times.(g) Stop the engine.(h) Check for foaming or emulsification.Especially, if the system has to be bled twice because of foam-ing or emulsification, check for fluid leaks in the system.(i) Check the fluid level.3. CHECK FLUID LEVEL(a) Keep the vehicle level.(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oilreservoir.If necessary, add fluid.Fluid: ATF DEXRONfi II or IIIHINT:Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on thereservoir tank. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the COLDLEVEL range.F40897NormalAbnormalR11786Engine Idling Engine Stopped5 mm (0.20 in.)or less514POWER STEERING POWER STEERING SYSTEM1539Author : Date :2004 COROLLA (RM1037U)(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times toraise fluid temperature.Fluid temperature: 75 80 C (167 176 F)(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.If foaming or emulsification is identified, bleed the power steer-ing system.(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oilreservoir.(g) Stop the engine.(h) Wait a few minutes and measure the fluid level in the oilreservoir again.Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)If a problem is found, bleed the power steering system.(i) Check the fluid level.4. CHECK STEERING FLUID PRESSURE(a) Disconnect the pressure feed tube from the PS gear (Seepage 5118).(b) Connect SST, as shown in the illustration.SST 0964010010 (0964101010, 0964101020,0964101030)NOTICE:Check that the valve of the SST is in the open position.(c) Bleed the power steering system.(d) Start the engine and run it at idle.(e) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times toraise fluid temperature.Fluid temperature: 75 80 C (167 176 F)F42426SSTOUTAttachmentPressureFeed TubeAttachmentINZ15498OilReservoirPS VanePumpPS GearSSTClosedZ15499OilReservoirPS VanePumpPS GearSSTOpenZ15500OilReservoirPS VanePumpPS GearSSTOpenLock PositionPOWER STEERING POWER STEERING SYSTEM5151540Author : Date :2004 COROLLA (RM1037U)(f) With the engine idling, close the valve of the SST and ob-serve the reading on the SST.Fluid pressure:7,300 7,800 kPa (75 80 kgf/cm2, 1,067 1,138 psi)NOTICE:Do not keep th
