Inspection on automobile
1. Check driving belt
(a) Check whether the belt has been abraded too much with eyes, and rope is broken.
If finding any defect, change the driving belt.
Hint: Some light crack at the side of belt rib could be approved, but if belt has any crack from
its rib, it is necessary to change.
2. Exhaust air of power steering system
(a) Check the oil level.
(b) Lift up automobile body, and support it with bracket.
(c) Turn steering wheel.
(1) Turn steering wheel slowly from left and right to bottom for several times when engine extinguishes.
(d) Lay down the automobile.
(e) Start the engine to make it run at idling speed for several minutes.
(f) Rotate steering wheel.
(1) Keep engine at idling speed, and turn the steering wheel from left or right to bottom and keep this
state for 2-3 seconds, then turn it to the other direction for 2-3 seconds.
(2) Repeat (1) for several times.
(g) Engine extinguishes.
(h) Check whether there is any foam or emulsification
phenomenon.
If there is any foam or emulsification phenomenon and
it is necessary to exhaust air second time, it is necessary
to check whether the system has any leakage.
(i) Check the oil level.
3. Check the oil level
(a) Keep automobile horizontal.
(b) Extinguish the engine, and check the oil level of oil stor-
age tank.
If oil level is too low, add oil.
Power steering oil: automatic transmission oil
DEXRON’’ II or III
Hint: check whether the oil level is in the HOT mark
scope of oil storage tank, if oil is cool, check the
oil level is in COLD mark scope.
(c) Start the engine, and keep it at idling speed.
(d) Turn steering wheel from left bottom to right bottom for
several times to make oil temperature increase.
