Hydraulic System Bleeding

NOTE: If air was introduced into hydraulic system during servicing, bleed system. Aerated fluid, which appears Light Tan in color, results in poor steering performance and will cause pump damage.
  1. Turn ignition off. Raise and support front of vehicle with wheels off ground. Turn wheels fully to left. If necessary, add power steering fluid to FULL mark on fluid level indicator. Turn wheels from side to side several times, but DO NOT touch steering stops. Add fluid as necessary to maintain level at FULL mark.
  2. Start engine. With engine idling add fluid as necessary. Return wheels to center position. Lower vehicle. Continue to run engine for 2 to 3 minutes to bring fluid to operating temperature.
  3. Road test vehicle. Check for leaks. Ensure fluid level is at FULL mark when fluid stabilizes at operating temperature.
