128Chapter 8 Power Steering SystemSection 1 Power Steering SystemPower Steering System DescriptionPower Steering System consists of the steering wheel, steering transmit device, power steering fixed device
and steering pipelines. The steering gear is rack and pinion type.
Major parameters for steering system:
Cautions:
1. Cautions for steering system
Make sure of the correct replacement of parts, incorrect replacement might affect the performance of
the steering system and lead to driving accidents.
2. Cautions for SRS System
This vehicle is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), driver side air bag and front passenger
side air bag.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the unexpected deployment of
the air bag during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident.Parameter

134On-vehicle inspection1. check the drive belt
Observe the drive belt for excessive wear and cordline wear. Replace the drive belt if necessary.
Hint: Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If missing chunks from the
ribs are found on the drive belt, it should be replaced.
2. Bleed the power steering system
(1) Check the fluid level
(2) Jack up the front of the vehicle and make sure it is safe
(3) Rotate the steering wheel
a. With the engine off, turn the steering wheel from LH limit position to RH limit position several
times
(4) Release the jack and lower the vehicle
(5) Start the engine, run the engine at idle for a few minutes
(6) Turn the steering wheel to left or right limit position and keep it there for 2 - 3 seconds, then turn the
steering wheel to the opposite limit position and keep it there for 2 - 3 seconds. Repeat it several
times.
(7) Shut off the engine, check for foaming or emulsification in the reservoir. If there is foaming or
emulsification, bleed power steering system repeatedly
(8) Check the fluid level and for leakage
2. Check the fluid level
(1) Park the vehicle on a level surface
(2) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add power steering fluid AT F
DEXRON if necessary.
Hint: the fluid level should be within the range of lowest level and highest level
(3) Check for foaming or emulsification, if there is, drain the power steering systemNormalAbnormal
