Bleeding & Refilling System

  1. Fill reservoir and operate engine until power steering fluid reaches operating temperature. Stop engine and recheck fluid level. Add fluid as necessary. Repeat procedure until fluid level stabilizes.
  2. Raise and support vehicle so front wheels are off ground. Start engine. Turn steering wheel from side-to-side several times. Avoid hitting stops or holding wheel in full left or right position. Fluid level should remain visible.
  3. Return wheels to center position. Operate engine for 2-3 minutes. Road test vehicle. Recheck fluid level. Fluid containing air will have a milky appearance. All air should be eliminated to obtain normal steering.
