The measurement of the maximum system pressure, (which is governed by the pressure relief valve) is achieved by inserting the service tool (pressure gauge and adaptors) into the fluid circuit of the power steering system. Run the engine at idle speed, turn the steering from lock to lock and read the maximum pressure recorded on the gauge
