Tester for diagnostics of power steering system

The MS510 is used to check the pressure generated by the power steering pump and to identify rack faults, which can be traced by the gauge readings of this device. The tester allows for the detection of issues such as pump wear, distributor wear, and ring wear in the power cylinder housing.

Advantages

    • Simple device and application.
    • Portability, no need for power supply from a stationary network.
    • Comes with necessary fittings and hoses for connection.

Specifications

• Power fluid: ATF
• Manometer, bar: 0-250

Set include

• MS510 tester
• MS00555 fitting set
• High pressure hoses (L-1100mm)

How to test power steering system?

1. Connect the tester to the pump and a high-pressure line, as indicated in the figure. Disconnect a high-pressure line from the pump, fix the reducing fittings in the pump and line. Then connect quick disconnect couplings to high-pressure hoses of the tester.
2. Start the car engine.
3. Test 1. Fix the switch 2 in position S (System). Measure the pressure in car hydraulic system.
4. Test 2. Fix the switch 2 in position P (Pump) for 5 seconds, the manometer indicates maximum pressure, generated by the pump.
5. Test 3. Fix the switch 2 in position S (System). Rotate the steering wheel to the left or right extreme position. Measure the pressure in car hydraulic system.
6. Test 4. Fix the switch 2 in position S (System). Rotate the steering wheel to extreme left and then to extreme right position. Measure the pressure in both positions.
7.  Stop the car engine.
8.  Disconnect the tester.
