9. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported malfunction is found, correct the cause (if
possible) before proceeding to the next step.
10. If the fault is not visually evident, determine the symptom and proceed to the following symptom chart.
Steering System Symptom Definitions
Drift/Pull
Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep the
vehicle going straight.
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel.
zA vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-
ahead path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
z Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (i.e., wind, road camber).
Excessive Steering Wheel Play
Excessive steering wheel play is a condition in which there is too much steering wheel movement
before the wheels move. A small amount of steering wheel free play is considered normal.
Feedback
Feedback is a roughness felt in the steering wheel when the vehicle is driven over rough pavement.
Hard Steering or Lack of Assist
Hard steering or lack of assist is experienced when the steering wheel effort exceeds specifications.
Hard steering can remain constant through the full turn or occur near the end of a turn. It is important
to know the difference between hard steering/lack of assist and binding.
Hard steering or lack of assist can result from either hydraulic or mechanical conditions. It is extremely
important to know if this concern occurs during driving, during very heavy or static parking maneuvers.
Nibble
Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various road
surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering wheel. Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering Visual Inspection Chart

GENERAL PROCEDURES
System Flushing —
CII Power Steering Pump
WARNING: Do not mix oil types. Any mixture or any unapproved oil can lead to seal
deterioration and leaks. A leak can ultimately cause loss of fluid, which can result in a loss of
power steering assist.
1. Remove the fuel pump fuse from the battery junction box.
2. Disconnect the power steering return hose. Plug the reservoir.
3. Attach an extension hose between the power steering return hose and an empty container.
4. Raise the front wheels off the floor. For additional information, refer to Section 100 - 02 .
5. Check the fluid level. If necessary, fill the reservoir to the correct level. zUse Motorcraft MERCON® Multi-Purpose ATF XT -2-QDX or MERCON® equivalent.
6. CAUTION: Do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Allow the
starter to cool for 1 minute before cranking again. Premature starter failure can occur.
CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to
five seconds at a time. Damage to the power steering pump will occur.
Turn the steering wheel from stop- to-stop while cranking the engine until the fluid exiting the
power steering return hose is clear of all contamination and foreign material.
zAdd Motorcraft MERCON® Multi-Purpose ATF XT -2-QDX or MERCON® equivalent as
needed.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Disconnect the extension hose from the power steering return hose. Remove the plug. Attach the power steering return hose to the reservoir.

9.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the reservoir.
Check the fluid level. If necessary, fill the reservoir to the correct level. zUse Motorcraft MERCON® Multi-Purpose ATF XT -2-QDX or MERCON® equivalent.
10. Install the fuel pump fuse.
11. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to
five seconds at a time. Damage to the power steering pump will occur.
Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop- to-stop.
12. CAUTION: Do not overfill the reservoir.
NOTE: If the power steering system is noisy and is accompanied by evidence of aerated fluid it
will be necessary to purge the power steering system.
Check the fluid level. If necessary, fill the reservoir to the correct level.
