The Mazda B2200 Power Steering Pump reduces the effort required in turning the wheel by pumping pressurized fluid into the steering gear each time the driver turns the wheel. In Mazda pickups it is driven off the crankshaft to convert engine rotation into hydraulic force, which the control valve then directs to either side of a piston inside the cylinder to ensure that assist is available in the same direction as the wheel input, and the truck turns with relative ease at parking speed, with a mechanical connection to ensure steering in case of loss of pressure. The initial designs were simple hydraulic designs, wherein a V-belt driven pump, an internal or external fluid tank, and high-pressure and return hoses took the oil to the rack or recirculating ball box. Subsequent Mazda years of manufacture tuning made refinements to the electronically signalled modification of a pump valve, in which a large addition of tuning at slow manoeuvre could be made, and a large reduction of tuning on the highway, where the feel of the road could be better supplied, a tuning that basically defined the difference between comfort oriented trims and more performance oriented editions. Leaks, whining, squeals, and stiff low-speed steering, regardless of year, will typically be found as a result of a faulty Power Steering Pump, loose belts, or low fluid, and pressure testing against factory specifications confirms health. In case of a complete shutdown of the pump the driver is still able to steer manually, as the mechanical linkage is not destroyed. Proprietors of the B2200 are advised to monitor the tension of the belt and the level of the reservoir to ensure that the Mazda steers in a smooth, quiet, and reliable manner, which justifies the Power Steering Pump as a very small but important detail.
