Checking Fluid Leakage
Check the lines for improper attachment and for 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.
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. Meanwhile quickly turn
steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering
stoppers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
IIncomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When
this happens, bleed air again.
a. Generation of air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Generation of clicking noise in oil pump
c. Excessive buzzing in oil pump
While the vehicle is stationary or while moving the steering wheel
slowly, fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This noise is
inherent in this steering system, and it will not affect performance
or durability of the system.

ISteering lock
a. Break self-shear type screws with a drill or other appropriate
tool.
b. Install self-shear type screws until self-shear type screw heads
are cut off.
IWhen disassembling and assembling, unlock steering lock with
key.
IEnsure that rounded surface of snap ring faces towards bear-
ing when snap ring is installed.
Inspection
IWhen steering wheel can not be rotated smoothly, check the
steering column for the following matters and replace damaged
parts:
a. Check column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubricate
with recommended multi-purpose grease or replace steering
column as an assembly, if necessary.
b. Check jacket tube for deformation or breakage. Replace if nec-
essary.
IWhen the vehicle is involved in a light collision, check column
length ªLº. If it is not within specifications, replace steering col-
umn assembly ªL
