1992 Acura Integra GS-RFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE
Simulated High-Speed Assist
- Check fluid level and belt tension. Start and idle engine. Turn steering wheel lock-to-lock to warm fluid. Stop engine. To simulate speeds greater than 30 MPH, disconnect hoses at speed sensor and connect By-Pass Tube Connector (07406-0010101 ) to speed sensor hoses. See Fig 1.
- Attach spring tension scale to outer end of steering wheel spoke. With vehicle on clean, dry floor, start and idle engine. Pull on tension scale until wheels begin to move.
- If turning force is less than 11 lbs. (5.0 kg) on Integra or 9 lbs. (4.0 kg) on Legend, speed sensor is okay. Check for pinched or bent sensor feed. If feed line is okay, problem is in pump or control unit. If turning force is 11 lbs. (5.0 kg) or more on Integra or 9 lbs. (4.0 kg) or more on Legend, replace faulty speed sensor.
