PS
(g) Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the right and
check steering effort (torque) while turning the
wheel. Check the opposite direction in the same
manner.
Torque: Steering effort (Reference)
6.0 N*m (61 kgf*cm, 53 in.*lbf)
HINT:
Check the tire type, pressure, and the road surface
before making your diagnosis.
(h) Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the
battery.
(i) Tighten the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 50 N*m (510 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf)
(j) Install the steering pad (See page RS-424).
(k) Connect the negative (-) battery cable to the battery.
(l) Clear the DTCs (See page RS-35).
(m) Inspect the airbag warning light (See page RS-27).

BLEEDING
1. BLEED POWER STEERING SYSTEM
(a) Check the fluid level (See page PS-2).
(b) Jack up the front of the vehicle and support it with
stands.
(c) Turn the steering wheel.
(1) With the engine stopped, turn the steering
wheel slowly from lock to lock several times.
(d) Lower the vehicle.
(e) Start the engine.
(1) Run the engine at idle for a few minutes.
(f) Turn the steering wheel.
(1) With the engine idling, turn the steering wheel
left or right to the full lock position and keep it in
that position for 2 to 3 seconds, then turn the
steering wheel to the opposite full lock position
and keep it there for 2 to 3 seconds.
(2) Repeat this procedure several times.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Check for foaming or emulsification.
HINT:
If the system has to be bled twice because of
forming or emulsification, be sure to check for fluid
leaks in the system.
(i) Check the fluid level (See page PS-2).
