Checking and Adjusting Drive Belts
Refer to section MA for Drive Belt Inspection.
Checking Fluid Level
Check fluid level.
Fluid level should be checked using ªHOTº range on dipstick at
fluid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122 to 176ÉF) or using ªCOLDº
range on dipstick at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30ÉC (32 to 86ÉF).
CAUTION:
lDo not overfill.
lRecommended fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid
ªDEXRONTMº type.
Checking Fluid Leakage
Check the lines for security, leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of fluid in oil tank rises to 60 to 80ÉC
(140 to 176ÉF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each ªlockº position for five seconds
and carefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 15 seconds.
4. If fluid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
5. Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.
Bleeding Hydraulic System
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the
ground.
2. Add fluid into oil tank to specified level. Then quickly turn
steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steer-
ing stoppers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
