Power Steering Fluid Condition Check

  1. Run the engine for 2 minutes.
  2. Check the power steering fluid system level.
  3. Observe the color and the odor. The color under normal circumstances should be dark reddish, not brown or black.
  4. Allow the fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
  5. If evidence of solid material is found, the power steering fluid system should be drained for further inspection.
  6. If fluid contamination or steering component failure is confirmed by the sediment in the power steering fluid system, Refer to STEERING FAULT DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM CHARTS .
