Power Steering Bleeding: Service and Repair
Bleeding Procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Raise the front wheels off of the ground.
3. Turn the steering wheel to the full left position.
4. Fill the fluid reservoir to the FULL/COLD level with either standard power steering fluid or optional cold climate fluid. Refer to FLUID AND
LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS in MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION.
Important: Bleeding the power steering system may require turning the wheels from side to side several times. Fluid with air in it has a light tan
appearance. Air must be eliminated from the fluid before normal steering action can be obtained.
5. With an assistant checking the fluid level and the condition, turn the steering wheel lock to lock at least 20 times. Ensure that the engine remains
OFF.
6. On systems with long return lines or fluid coolers, turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock at least 40 times.
7. Trapped air may cause the fluid to overflow. Thoroughly clean any spilled fluid in order to allow for a leak check.
