Air Bleeding Procedure; P/S Pump Drive Belt On-Vehicle Inspection; P/S Pump Drive Belt Tension Adjustment - Suzuki Liana RH413 Service Manual

Air Bleeding Procedure

1) Jack up the front end of vehicle, and then apply
safety stands.
2) Fill P/S fluid reservoir with fluid up to specified level.
NOTE
Before starting engine, set transmission gear
shift lever in "Neutral" (shift selector lever to
"P" range for A/T model), and set parking
brake.
3) After running engine at idling speed for 3 to 5
seconds, stop it and add fluid to satisfy specification.
4) With engine stopped, turn steering wheel to the right
and left as far as it stops, repeat it a few times and fill
fluid to specified level.
5) With engine running at idling speed, repeat stop-to-
stop turn of steering wheel till all foams in P/S fluid
reservoir are gone.
NOTE
Make sure to bleed air completely. If air
remains in fluid, P/S pump may make
humming noise or steering wheel may feel
heavy.
6) Finally, check that fluid is filled to specified level.

P/S Pump Drive Belt On-Vehicle Inspection

1) Remove engine undercover of right side from vehicle
body.
2) Check belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and
cleanliness.
If any defect is found, replace power steering belt.
Refer to "P/S Pump Drive Belt Removal and
Installation".
3) Check belt tension by measuring how much it
deflects. Push the belt intermediate point between A/
C compressor pulley (2) or P/S pump pulley (1) and
crankshaft pulley (3). The push force (5) should be
about 100 N (10 kg, 22 lb). Adjust it if necessary
referring to "P/S Pump Drive Belt Tension
Adjustment".
Deflection of P/S belt
"a": 7 – 9 mm (0.28 – 0.35 in.) for new belt, 9 – 11
mm (0.35 – 0.43 in.) for used belt
"b": 4 – 9 mm (0.16 – 0.35 in.) for new and used
belts
