Fluid Level Inspection
1. Inspect the power steering fluid level.
Fluid specification ATF M-III or equivalent (e.g. Dexron®II)
Fluid Leakage Inspection
1. Start the engine and let it idle.
2. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right to apply fluid pressure.
Caution
3. Inspect for fluid leakage.
Note
Fluid Pressure Inspection
1. Assemble the SSTs
as shown in the figure.
2. Disconnect the pressure pipe from the oil pump, and connect the SSTs.
Tightening torque 29.4-44.1 N·m {3.0-4.4 kgf·m, 22-32 ft·lbf}
3. Bleed the air from the system.
4. Open the gauge valve fully.
5. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully left and right to raise the fluid temperature to 50-60 °C {122-140 ° F}.
6. Close the gauge valve completely.
7. Increase the engine speed to 1,000-1,500 rpm
and measure the fluid pressure generated by the oil pump.
Caution
Oil pump fluid pressure 10.80-11.29 MPa {110.2-115.2 kgf/cm2, 1567-1637 psi}
8. Open the gauge valve fully and increase the engine speed to 1,000-1,500 rpm.
9. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right, then measure the fluid pressure generated at the gear housing.
Caution
Gear housing fluid pressure 10.80-11.29 MPa {110.2-115.2 kgf/cm2, 1567-1637 psi}
10. Remove the SSTs. Install and tighten the pressure pipe to the specified torque.
Tightening torque 29.4-44.1 N·m {3.0-4.4 kgf·m, 22-32 ft·lbf}
11. Bleed the air from the system.
Mazda 6 Service Manual: Variable tumble control system (vtcs) shutter valve actuator inspection
1. Remove the air hose. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the VTCS shutter valve actuator.
3. Connect a vacuum pump to the VTCS shutter valve actuator.
4. Apply vacuum and verify that the rod moves.
If the rod dose not move, replace the intake ...
Mazda 6 Service Manual: Base installation
1. Cut away all of the original sealant using a razor.
2. Clean and degrease the ceramic coating on the glass and the base.
3. Apply primer to the bonding area of the glass and the base.
Caution
Keep the area free of dirt and grease, and do not touch the
surface or the primer may not prope ...
