Flushing the Power Steering System

1. Raise the front end of the vehicle off the ground until the wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove the inlet connector port on the pump reservoir inlet connector.
3. Plug the inlet connector port on the pump reservoir.
4 Position the fluid return line toward a large container in order to catch the draining fluid.
5. While a second person fills the reservoir with either standard power steering fluid or optional cold climate fluid, start and run the engine at idle.
6. Turn the steering wheel from stop to stop.

NOTICE: Do not hold the wheel against its stops while flushing the system. Holding the steering wheel against its stops will cause high system pressure, overheating, and damage to the pump and/or gear.

7. Continue draining until all of the old fluid is cleared from the power steering system. Addition of approximately one (1) quart of new fluid will be required to flush the system.
8. Unplug the pump reservoir inlet and reconnect the return line.

9. Bleed the power steering system.
