13. Fill the power steering system (See Filling Procedure in Power Steering Filling and Flushing in Section 11 Steer-
ing).
NOTE :
Approximately 1.0L of power steering fluid should be needed to fully flush the power steering reservoir. DO NOT mix
other fluids in the power steering fluid.
Inspection
1. If the power steering fluid level is low, inspect the entire power steering system for potential leaks.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the vehicle with foamy steering fluid for an extended period. This may cause
pump damage.
2. Perform the following to inspect the power steering fluid reservoir level:
• Park the vehicle on a level surface.
• Start the engine.
• Turn the steering wheel several times to heat the power steering fluid to 50° - 60°C.
• With the engine running, turn the steering wheel left and right to the wheel stops and repeat this several
times.
• Check the power steering fluid reservoir to see whether there is foam or milky fluid present. Check the
fluid level difference between engine off (2)
and engine running (1). If the fluid level varia-
tion exceeds 5 mm, air is in the system and
the air should be bled from the power steering
system.
