If the system has to be bled twice because of foaming or emulsification, check
for fluid leaks in the system.
j. Check the fluid level.
3. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
a. Keep the vehicle horizontal.
b. With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid:
ATF DEXRON II or III
HINT:
If the fluid is hot, check that the fluid level is within the HOT range. If the fluid
is cold, check that the fluid level is within the COLD range.
c. Start the engine and idle it.
d. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to raise the fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature:
80°C (176°F)
e. Check for foaming or emulsification.
If foaming or emulsification is identified, bleed the power steering system.
f. With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the reservoir.
g. Stop the engine.
h. Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise:
5.0 mm (0.197 in.)
If the fluid level rise is more than the maximum, bleed the power steering
system.
i. Check the fluid level.
4. CHECK STEERING FLUID PRESSURE
a. Disconnect the pressure feed tube from the vane pump ( Click here).
