STEERING - On-vehicle Service
BLEEDING
1. Jack up the front wheels and support them by using a
floor stand.
2. Manually turn the oil pump pulley a few times.
3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and to
the right several times.
4. Disconnect the high-tension cable, and then, while operat-
ing the starting motor intermittently, turn the steering wheel
all the way to the left and right several times (for 15
to 20 seconds).
Caution
1. During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so
that the level never falls below the lower position
of the filter.
2. If air bleeding is done while engine is running,
the air will be broken up and absorbed into the
fluid; be sure to do the bleeding only while crank-
ing.
5. Connect the ignition cable, and then start the engine
(idling).
6. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there
are no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
7. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is
up to the specified position on the level gauge.
8. Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level
when the steering wheel is turned left and right.
9. Check whether or not the change in the fluid level is
within 5 mm (.2 in.) when the engine is stopped and
when it is running.
Caution
1. If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm (.2 in.)
or more, the air has not been completely bled
from the system, and thus must be bled complete-
l y .
2. If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine
is stopped, the air has not been completely bled.
3. If air bleeding is not complete, there will be abnor-
mal noises from the pump and the flow-control
valve, and this condition could cause a lessening
of the life of the pump, etc.
