VANE PUMP (for KD Series Engine) > INSPECTION |
| 1. INSPECT VANE PUMP SHAFT BEARING |
![]() |
Using a micrometer, measure the height, thickness and length of the plate.
| Item | Length |
| Height | 7.6 mm (0.299 in.) |
| Thickness | 1.405 mm (0.0553 in.) |
| Length | 11.993 mm (0.4722 in.) |
![]() |
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the rotor groove and plate.
![]() |
| Rotor and Cam Ring Mark | Vane Plate Part No. | Vane Plate Length |
| None | 44345-06110 | 12.001 to 12.003 mm (0.47248 to 0.47256 in.) |
| 1 | 44345-06120 | 11.999 to 12.000 mm (0.47240 to 0.47244 in.) |
| 2 | 44345-06130 | 11.997 to 11.998 mm (0.47232 to 0.47236 in.) |
| 3 | 44345-06140 | 11.995 to 11.996 mm (0.47224 to 0.47228 in.) |
| 4 | 44345-06150 | 11.993 to 11.994 mm (0.47216 to 0.47220 in.) |
| 2. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE |
![]() |
Coat the valve with power steering fluid and check that it falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
![]() ![]() |
Check the flow control valve for leakage. Close either hole A or B and apply 392 to 490 kPa (4 to 5 kgf/cm2, 57 to 71 psi) of compressed air into the opposite side. Confirm that air does not come out from hole C.
If air leaks from hole C, replace the vane pump assembly.
If necessary, replace the valve with one that has the same mark as the front housing.
| 3. INSPECT FLOW CONTROL VALVE COMPRESSION SPRING |
![]() |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the spring.
| 4. INSPECT PRESSURE PORT UNION |
If the union seat in the pressure port union is severely damaged, it may cause fluid leakage. If damaged, replace the vane pump assembly.
