Fluid Replacement

Check the reservoir (A) at regular intervals, and add the
recommended fluid as necessary. Always use Honda
Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power
steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid can cause
increased wear, fluid leaks, and poor steering in cold
weather.
NOTE: If the fluid is contaminated, the screen in the
reservoir may be partially blocked. Inspect the reservoir
screen for any debris. If the reservoir screen is clogged,
replace the reservoir.
System capacity:
1.05 L (1.11 US. qt) at disassembly
Reservoir capacity:
0.32 L (0.34 US. qt)

1. Remove the reservoir from its holder. Raise the
reservoir, then disconnect the return hose (A) to
drain the reservoir. Take care not to spill the fluid
on the vehicle. Wipe off any spilled fluid at once.
NOTE: Inspect the reservoir screen for any debris. If
the reservoir screen is clogged, replace the
reservoir.

2. Connect a hose (B) of suitable diameter to the
disconnected return hose, and put the hose end in a
suitable container.
3. Start the engine, let it run at idle, and turn the
steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times.
When fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off
the engine. Discard the fluid.
NOTE: Stop the motor immediately once the fluid
stops running out of hose to prevent pump damage.
4. Reinstall the return hose on the reservoir.
5. Fill the reservoir to the upper level line (C).
6. Start the engine and run it at idle, then turn the
steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air
from the system.
7. Recheck the fluid level and add some if necessary.
Do not fill the reservoir beyond the upper level line.
8. If the fluid is contaminated, dark, or discolored,
repeat the procedure as necessary until the system
is clean.
