Fluid Level Check
- Raise and support front end of vehicle. Fill fluid reservoir. With engine off, turn steering wheel lock-to-lock several times. Recheck fluid level. Refill fluid if necessary.
- With engine at idle, turn steering wheel lock-to-lock several times. Recheck fluid level. Add fluid (if necessary). Lower vehicle. Turn steering wheel lock-to-lock with engine at idle.NOTE: Avoid holding steering wheel at full lock position for more than 10 seconds or fluid temperature will increase sharply.
- With steering wheel in straight-ahead position and engine off, look for fluid rising in reservoir. If fluid rises, air is trapped in system. Repeat bleeding procedure in step 2). Check fluid in reservoir. Check for leakage.
