SERVICE INFORMATION
If the high pressure hose on an Applied Vehicle needs to be replaced for any reason:
• The hose now comes without the pressure sensor (refer to Figure 1).
• When replacing this hose, reuse the existing pressure sensor. Replace the pressure
sensor ONLY IF there is a pressure sensor related issue.
• Do not replace other related hoses unless necessary (i.e., do not replace as a set).
• Do not damage the pressure sensor during removal or installation.
• Always use a new O-ring when installing a new or existing pressure sensor (refer to
Figure 1).
• Pressure sensor mounting torque: 19.6 N•m (2.0 kg-m, 14.5 ft lb)
• If only the pressure sensor needs replacement, do not replace any hoses.
• Always replace both copper washers (mounted at the power steering pump).
CAUTIONS:
¾ Do not allow dirt or contamination to enter the hydraulic system.
¾ Always secure the pressure sensor mounting block in a soft jaw vise when
removing and installing the pressure sensor. Do not clamp onto the “banjo”
end of the hose.
APPLIED VEHICLES:
•
Refer to the appropriate Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for power steering hose
removal, installation, and torque specifications.
