Power Steering Bleeding: Service and Repair
Special Tools
CAUTION: If the air is not purged from the power steering system correctly, pump failure could result. This condition can occur on pre-delivery
vehicles with evidence of aerated fluid or on vehicles that had steering component repairs.
Note: CIII pump is shown, CII pump is similar.
1. Note: A whine heard from the power steering pump can be caused by air in the system. The power steering purge procedure must be carried out
prior to any component repair for which power steering noise complaints are accompanied by evidence of aerated fluid.
Remove the fluid reservoir cap and check the fluid.
2. Tightly insert the stopper of the vacuum pump into the fluid reservoir.
3. Start the vehicle.
