ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
POWER STEERING FLUID
Checking Fluid LevelINFOID:0000000005147865
Check power steering fluid level with engine off, referring to the scale
on reservoir tank.
Use HOT range for fluid temperatures of 50 ° – 80 °C (122 ° – 176 °F).
Use COLD range for fluid temperatures of 0 ° – 30 °C (32° – 86°F).
CAUTION:
• Do not overfill.
• Do not reuse any used power steering fluid.
• Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent. Refer to MA-13, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
Checking Fluid LeakageINFOID:0000000005147866
Check the hydraulic piping lines for improper attachment and for
leaks, cracks, damage, loose connec tions, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine until fluid temperature reaches 50 ° – 80° C (122° –
176° F) in reservoir tank. Keep engine speed idle.
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds to check fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may
be damaged.)
4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not over tighten con- nector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to ST-17
.
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating a leak from the steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemINFOID:0000000005147867
NOTE:
• When vehicle is stationary or while steering wheel is being turned slowly, some noise may be heard from oil pump or gear. This noise is normal and does not affect any system.
• Incomplete air bleeding causes the fo llowing. When this happens, bleed air again.
- Air bubbles in reservoir tank.
- Clicking noise in oil pump.
- Excessive buzzing in oil pump.
1. Stop engine, and then turn steering wheel fully to right and left several times. CAUTION:
Do not allow steering fluid reservoir tank to go below the MIN level line. Check tank frequently and
add fluid as needed.
2. Run engine at idle speed. Turn steering wheel fully right and then fully left, hold for about three seconds.
Then check for fluid leakage.
3. Repeat step 2 several times at about three second intervals. CAUTION:
Do not hold steeri ng wheel in the locked position for more than 10 seconds. (There is the possibil-
ity that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check for air bubbles or cloudy fluid.
5. If air bubbles or cloudiness still exists, stop engine, perform steps 2 and 3 again until air bubbles or cloud-
iness does not exist.
