BLEEDING
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL (See page SR-5)
2. JACK UP FRONT OF VEHICLE AND SUPPORT IT
WITH STANDS
3. TURN STEERING WHEEL
With the engine stopped, turn the steering 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 steering wheel to left or
right full lock position and keep it there for 2-3 seconds,
then turn the steering wheel to the opposite full lock posi-
tion and keep it there for 2-3 seconds.
(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-5)

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. 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-4).
(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-4).
(i) Check the fluid level.

(b) Rock the steering wheel gently up and down with a finger
lightly, check the steering wheel freeplay.
Maximum freeplay: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
2. CHECK STEERING EFFORT
(a) Center the steering wheel.
(b) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR-12).
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Measure the steering effort in both directions.
Steering effort (Reference)

HINT:
Take the tire type, pressure and contact surface into consider-
ation before making your diagnosis.
(e) Torque the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 50 N´m (510 kgf´cm, 37 ft´lbf)
(f) Install the steering wheel pad (See page SR-22).
