5.
While cranking the engine for 15 to 20 seconds, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right five times.
CAUTION:
Perform air bleeding only while cranking the engine. If air bleeding is performed while the engine is running, air could enter the fluid. During air
bleeding, refill the steering fluid supply so that the level never falls below the lower mark on the dipstick.
8.
Reconnect the ignition power transistor. Start the engine and allow to idle.
9.
Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and to the right. Repeat until there are no air bubbles in the reservoir fluid.
10.
Confirm that the steering fluid is clear (no bubbles), and that the fluid level reaches the high mark on the dipstick.
11.
With the engine running, confirm that the fluid level remains between the high and low dipstick marks when the steering wheel is turned.
12.
Check the fluid level when the engine is running. Then check the fluid level with the engine stopped. Fluid level change should not be over 5 mm
(0.20 in.).
13.
If necessary, repeat the bleeding procedure until the fluid is clear (no bubbles) and the power steering pump makes no noise while idling.
CAUTION:
^
If fluid level changes more than 5 mm (0.20 in.), air has not been completely bled from the system.
^
If fluid level rises suddenly, air is not completely bled from the system.
^
If air bleeding is incomplete, there will be abnormal noises from the power steering pump and flow-control valve. If the noises continue after air
bleeding, the life of the power steering components could be reduced.
