Power Steering System Filling





Special Tool(s)





1. NOTE: When filling the power steering fluid reservoir, make sure that the power steering fluid is clean and not agitated prior to use. The fluid should be poured slowly into the reservoir to minimize the possibility of aeration. The fluid level should be checked with the fluid cold.

Fill the power steering fluid reservoir to the MAX mark with power steering fluid.





2. Using the special tool, apply a vacuum of 84 - 101 kPa (25 - 30 in-Ha) for 30 seconds.
3. Observe the vacuum gauge reading.
If the vacuum decreases by more than 7 kPa (2 in-Ha) in five minutes, the system should be checked for leaks.
4. Remove the special tool.
5. Fill the power steering fluid reservoir to the MAX mark with power steering fluid.
