2005 Toyota Celica Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the power steering pump on 2005 Toyota Celica?

  A: The first step to service and repair the power steering pump involves removing the RH and center engine under covers followed by loosening the drive belt tension through counterclockwise turning of the drive belt tensioner arm and drive belt removal. Disconnection of the suction hose should be performed after clip removal while maintaining drive belt protection from fluid spills. The technician should use Special Service Tool: 09023-38400 to detatch the pressure feed tube followed by removing the bolt and releasing the pressure feed tube clamp. Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector before removing the PS vane pump assembly through the process of bolting out its set of 2 assembly bolts and nuts. The PS vane pump assembly installation requires securing the 2 pump assembly set bolts and nuts at 37 Nm (370 kgf-cm, 27 ft. lbs.). Secure the oil pressure switch connector without allowing any oil to contact it. Rejoin the pressure feed tube clamp using the bolt and follow up with specific tool 09023-38400 for tube attachment and 40 Nm torque. A torque wrench with 345 mm (11.81 inch) fulcrum enables precise measurement and should maintain tool alignment with the wrench for best results. The suction hose will join the clip after which you should loosen the tension on the drive belt along with replacing the RH and center engine under covers before bleeding the power steering system.
