Hydraulic System Bleeding
CAUTION:
DO NOT crank engine for more than 15-20 seconds at a time. Add fluid as needed during procedure to prevent reservoir level from dropping.
- Ensure reservoir is filled before bleeding. Add fluid (if necessary) during bleeding. Raise and support front of vehicle. Disconnect coil high tension wire.
- While cranking engine, turn steering wheel lock-to-lock 5 or 6 times. Lower vehicle. Connect coil wire. Start engine and let idle. Turn steering wheel lock-to-lock until no more bubbles appear in oil reservoir.
- Turn steering wheel lock-to-lock. Fluid level should not change more than .2" (5 mm). If pump is noisy, fluid rises after engine is turned off, or fluid level changes more than specified, repeat bleeding procedure.
