POWER STEERING FLUID
BLEEDING
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL (See page SR−4 )
2. JACK UP FRONT OF VEHICLE AND SUPPORT IT WITH STANDS
3. TURN STEERING WHEEL
With the engine stopped, turn the wheel slowly from lock to lock
several times.
4. LOWER VEHICLE
5. START ENGINE
Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.
6. TURN STEERING WHEEL
(a) With the engine idling, turn the wheel to left or right full lock and keep it there for 2 −3 seconds, then turn the
wheel to the opposite full lock and keep it there for 2 −3 se-
conds.
(b) Repeat (a) several times.
7. STOP ENGINE
8. CHECK FOR FOAMING OR EMULSIFICATION
If the system has to be bled twice specifically because of foam-
ing or emulsification, check for fluid leaks in the system.
9. CHECK FLUID LEVEL (See page SR−4)

INSPECTION
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir cap dipstick. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within
the COLD LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80° C (176°F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering sys-
tem. (See page SR−3 ).
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system (See page
SR−3 ).
(i) Check the fluid level.

STEERING WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
(a) With the vehicle stopped and tires pointed straight ahead,
rock the steering wheel gently back and forth with light fin-
ger pressure.
(b) Freeplay should not exceed the maximum. Maximum freeplay: 40 mm (1.58 in.)
If the freeplay exceeds the maximum, adjust it in the following
procedure.
2. ADJUST STEERING GEAR
(a) Point the front wheels straight ahead.
(b) Loosen the adjusting screw lock nut.
(c) Turn the cross shaft adjusting screw clockwise to de- crease steering wheel freeplay and counterclockwise to
increase it.
HINT:
Turn the adjusting screw in small increments and check the
freeplay between each adjustment.
(d) Turn the steering wheel half way around in both direc- tions.
(e) Check that the freeplay is correct and steering is smooth and without rough spots.
(f) Torque the adjusting screw lock nut (See page SR−41).
3. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR−11).
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Measure the steering effort in both directions.
