2001 toyota tacoma the power sterring system

On a 2001 toyota tacoma the power sterring system doesnt work it makes noise, I already put a new power steering pump and removed all the air trapped inside the lines and still my power sterring system doesn't work, It may have something to do with the powerpressure switch, or one of the hoses may be clogged I don't have a clue.

SOURCE: Red Set button underneath the steering wheel

I believe this is for your tire pressure sensors. If the tire pressure in one of your tires drops it will alert you with a light on your dash. When tire pressure is restored, press this button to reset the sensor.

SOURCE: tacoma won't start, or shift out of park.

Try putting foot on brake, or is key in ignition, also over-ride button by shifter. Auto's have safety micro switches in these places so not to have car in drive and start, "extremely dangerous" Try this first easily missed. lol

Assuming you have a known GOOD pump that was replaced. Try turning the wheel right then left while keeping an eye on the fluid level in the pump reservoir.
Probably have air in the system.

SOURCE: Vacuum switch on power steering pump?!?!? What does it do??

Your mechanics are either stupid or are playing stupid. Its to raise the idle speed when there is high power steering pressure. Like when you turn the steering wheel, the pressure goes up, and it raises the engine idle speed. Find one in a junkyard, They have U-Pull IT yards around here, you can get one cheap.

How to bleed power steering reservior03 tacoma prerunner

Hello Loren Russell,

Great question.

Bleeding is for closed hydraulic systems... the air space at the top of the fluid tank is open... and air escapes the pumping action during the NORMAL functioning of the pump.

There's no "bleeding" on the power steering... fill the reservoir to the appropriate level... start the motor and turn the wheel lock to lock. That action alone causes the fluid to go in... pushing any trapped air out.

Check your fluid level and top it up to a medium level.

(always hit those "locks" gently...It is POWER steering).

We have replaced the pump, both hoses, and the rack and pinion. Still no power steering. The parts used were after market due to Toyota wanting 400.00 for the pump alone. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Did you bleed the system after changing the parts? if there's air in the lines it'll cause issues.

I don't know HOW to do this on the Tacoma, but likley avl. online - check out the 'toyotanation.com' website.Td

2000 Toyota Tacoma steering makes a loud whining noise when I start it.

You could have air in the system, does your truck have rack and pinoin sterring? IF so it could be going out, hope this helps.

What could be wrong with the power sterring if it makes a loud noise. after checking poer sterring fluid

The most common problem with noisy power steering (whining noise) is that the power steering pump is defective. If you replace the pump make sure you flush the system with clean PS fluid or it can ruin the new pump.

MY 2001 Elantra was making a horrible screeching noise whenever i turned the car on and whenever i turned the steering wheel. i thought it was the power steering pump so i replaced the pump but i didnt...

Hi, it sounds more like you have a improperly tensioned drive belt. If you didn't get all the trapped air out of the power steering system this maybe the cause of your stiffer steering problem now. Try loosening the P/S belt all the way and starting the car if you still hear the noise you know its in one of the other drive belts. good luck

My 2001 toyota tacoma is squealing nonstop and i think the powersteering pump is bad is this correct

I'm inclined to believe that your power steering pump is low on fluid or bad.

Squealing can come from any belt slipping or an accessory like the power steering pump being worn out.

Good luck, to you.

Suddenly loose steering

I had this problem and it was the rack bushings. I replaced them with Energy suspension ones. Toyota does not sell bushing for it, they sell the complete rack. You can check it by getting someone the turn the sterring wheel when its running. bend down next to the truck and watch the rack if this is the problem you will see the rack moving on the bushings.
