Flushing Power Steering System

1. Raise front end of vehicle off ground until wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove fluid return line at pump reservoir inlet connector, then plug inlet connector port on pump reservoir.
3. Position fluid return line in large container.
4. While a second person fills reservoir with power steering fluid, run engine at idle.
5. Turn steering wheel from stop to stop.

CAUTION: Do not contact wheel stops or hold wheel near a stop position or fluid will stop and pump will be in pressure relief mode. A sudden overflow from reservoir may develop if wheel is held at a stop.

6. Install any lines, hoses or components removed from vehicle, then fill system with new power steering fluid and bleed system. Refer to System Bleeding.
7. Operate engine for approximately 15 minutes, then remove pump return line at pump inlet and plug connection on pump.
8. While refilling reservoir, check draining fluid for contamination. If any foreign material is present, replace all lines and disassemble and clean or replace power steering system components. Do not reuse any drained power steering fluid.
