Perform air bleeding procedure as necessary after replacing the steering gear, oil
pump or the steering fluid lines.
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to IGNITION COIL
).
3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right five or six times while
using the starter motor to crank the engine intermittently several times (for 15
to 20 seconds).
4. Connect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to IGNITION COIL
).
5. Start the engine and allow to idle.
6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are no air bubbles in the
oil reservoir.
7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is between the high and
low dipstick marks.
8. Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level when the steering
wheel is turned left and right.
9. Confirm that the change in the fluid level is no more than 5 mm (0.2 inch)
when the en
gine is sto
pped.
CAUTION: Perform air bleeding only while cranking the
engine. Do not perform air bleeding while the
en
gine is runnin
g. If
you do so, air in the fluid will
be increased and air bleeding will become more
difficult. During air bleeding, refill the steering
fluid so that the level never falls below the lower
mark on the dipstick.
CAUTION: If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is
stopped, the air has not been completely bled. If
air bleeding is not complete, there will be
abnormal noises from the pump and the flow-
control valve, and this condition could reduce
the life of the power steering components.
