temperature) is prominent.
Normal AbnormalLift up the vehicle very carefully.
Turn the steering wheel to its both ends
several times and add the oil up to MAX line
in the steering oil reservoir.
Periodically crank the starting motor and turn
the steering wheel to its both ends without
any interruption.
Check the oil level again. If the oil level is
fluctuated, repeat the procedures from step 3
to step 5.
Start the engine.

level and belt tension. Prepare the empty
container to collect the spilled oil during the
service.
Unscrew the pressure line fitting in power
steering pump.
Install the pressure gauge between the
power steering pump and the power steering
oil pressure line.
Place the shift lever to neutral position. Apply
the parking brake.
Open the valve in pressure gauge. Start the
engine and let it run at idle speed.
