2000 Toyota Camry Power Steering Pump Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the power steering pump on 2000 Toyota Camry?

  A: The first step to serve and repair a power steering pump includes removing the two bolts from the front fender apron seal RH. Before you detach the hose check that steams of liquid will not drip on the drive belt. First remove the bolt and nut of the clamp plate set from the 5S-FE Engine for the pressure feed tube. Then take out the 2 clamp plates along with 2 holders from the tube before removing the clamp itself. Servicing the 1MZ-FE Engine requires removal of the 2 clamp plate set nuts and bolt then the clamp plates and holders from the tube component. The tube disconnection must be performed using Special Service Tool: 09631-22020 for both engines. The following step requires loosening the two bolts labeled A and B to remove the drive belt. The oil pressure switch requires disconnection from its connector before proceeding to loosen bolt A that remains non-removable while removing the PS vane pump assembly and its connected pressure feed tube. The oil pressure switch should be separated from the union bolt while being careful to avoid dropping it before proceeding to remove the entirety of the union bolt together with the gasket. The technical process calls for torquing the union bolt with a new gasket to allow the tube stopper to touch the front bracket at 52 Nm (525 kgf.cm, 38 ft. lbs.) for both engines. Then install the oil pressure switch on the union bolt with 21 Nm (210 kgf.cm, 15 ft. lbs.). Correctly adjust the drive belt tension while holding the temporary tightness on PS vane pump assembly bolts A and B that hold the pressure feed tube. The tool 09249-63010 from Special Service Tool should be employed to torque bolt A to 29 Nm (293 kgf.cm, 21 ft.lbs.) for the 5S-FE Engine and to apply the same torque for the 1MZ-FE Engine. After cautioning against connector exposure to oil, you should connect this fitting to the oil pressure switch while using a torque of 43 Nm (440 kgf.cm, 32 ft. lbs.) for both the 5S-FE and 1MZ-FE engines. When using Special Service Tool: 09631-22020 to install the pressure feed tube perform 32 Nm (326 kgf.cm, 24 ft. lbs.) torque for 5S-FE Engine and 20 Nm (203 kgf.cm, 15 ft. lbs.) torque for 1MZ-FE Engine while keeping the tool parallel to the torque wrench. To secure the tube clamp for 5S-FE Engine installation you must first install the clamp and then add the 2 clamp plates with 2 holders followed by torquing the clamp plate set bolt and nut at 10 Nm (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft. lbs.). Insufficient torque on the 1MZ-FE Engine requires tightening the bolt first followed by securing the 2 clamp plate set nuts at 7.8 Nm (80 kgf.cm, 69 inch lbs.). The power steering system requires a bleed before the final installation step which includes connecting the return hose and tightening the 2 bolts on both the front fender apron seal RH.
