2007 KIA CARNIVAL steering

a.During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so that the level never falls below the lower position of the
filter.
b. If air bleeding is done while the vehicle is idling, the air will be broken up and absorbed into the fluid. Be
sure to do the bleeding only while cranking.
c. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse, and start the engine(idling).
d. Turn the steering wheel to the left and the right until there are no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
Do not hold the steering wheel turned all the way to either side for more than ten seconds.
e. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is up to the position specified on the level gauge.
f. Confirm that there is little change in the surface o the fluid when the steering wheel is turned left and right.
a. If the surface of the fluid changes considerably, air bleeding should be done again.
b. If the fluid level rises suddenly when the engine is stopped, it indicates that there is still air in the
system.
c. If there is air in the system, a jingling noise may be heard from the pump and the control valve
may also produce unusual noises. Air in the system will shorten the life of the pump and other
parts.
OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST (OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE)
1.Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump. Connect the special tool between the oil pump and pressure hose
as illustrated.
2. Bleed the air, and then start the engine and turn the steering wheel several times so that the fluid temperature
rises to approximately 50°C (122°F).
3. Set the engine speed to 1,000 rpm.
4. Close the shut- off valve of the special tool and measure the fluid pressure to confirm that it is within the range.
standard vaule :
Relief pressure: 90 +3/- 2 kgf/cm²
Don’t keep the shut- off valve on the pressure gauge closed for longer than seconds.

REMOVAL
1.Disconnect the negative terminal (A) from the battery and then wait for 30 seconds.
2.Loosen the bolts in the illustration and then remove the horn pad (A).
3.Disconnect the connectors and remove the steering wheel lock nut.

Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft):
40 ~ 50 (4.0 ~ 5.0, 29 ~ 36)
4. After making the marks on the steering wheel and shaft for reinstallation, remove the steering wheel using a SST
(09561- 11002).
Do not hammer on the steering wheel to remove it ; it may damage the steering column.
5.Loosen the screws, and then remove the lower crash pad (A).
6.Loosen the screws, and then remove the steering column upper (B) and lower shrouds (A).
7.Disconnect the connectors (A) and then remove the clock sprig (B).

8.Disconnect the connectors (A) and remove the mutifunction switch (B).
9.Loosen the bolt (A) and then disconnect the universal joint assembly (B) from the steering gear assembly.
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft):
13 ~ 18 (1.3 ~ 1.8, 9.4 ~ 13.0)
10. Remove the steering column assembly by loosening the steering column mounting bolts and nut (A).
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft):
13 ~ 18 (1.3 ~ 1.8, 9.4 ~ 13.0)

INSTALLATION
Before installing, apply multi purpose grease to each moving parts.
1. Installation is the reverse of removal.

2.Remove the key lock assembly (A) from the steering column (B) by loosing special bolts.
3.When reassembling the key lock assembly, loosely install new special bolts to the steering column shaft.

4.Tighten the special bolt until its head is cut off.
UNIVERSAL JOINT ASSEMBLY
