Power Steering Pump: Service and Repair
Power Steering Pump
Initial Operation
CAUTION: The fluid level should be checked with engine off to prevent injury from moving components. Use only Mopar(R) Power Steering Fluid.
Do not use automatic transmission fluid. Do not overfill.
Read the fluid level through the side of the power steering fluid reservoir. The fluid level should indicate "COLD RANGE" when the fluid is at a
temperature of approximately 21°C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F).
1. Wipe the filler cap and area clean, then remove the cap.
2. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and let the fluid settle for at least two 2 minutes.
3. Start the engine and let run for a few seconds, then turn the engine off.
4. Add fluid if necessary. Repeat the above steps, until the fluid level remains constant after running the engine.
5. Raise the front wheels off the ground.
6. Start the engine.
7. Slowly turn the steering wheel right and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops.
8. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
9. Lower the vehicle, then turn the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock.
10. Stop the engine. Check the fluid level and refill as required.
11. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle to stabilize a few minutes, then repeat the above procedure.
Removal and Installation
REMOVAL
1. Remove the (-) negative battery cable from the battery and isolate cable.
2. Remove the cap from the power steering fluid reservoir.
3. Using a siphon pump, remove as much power steering fluid as possible from the power steering fluid reservoir.
4. Raise the vehicle on jack stands or centered on a frame contact type hoist.
5. Disconnect the oxygen sensor wiring harness from the vehicle wiring harness at the rear engine mount bracket.
NOTE: The exhaust system needs to be removed from the engine to allow for an area to remove the power steering pump from the vehicle.
6. Remove the four bolts and flag nuts securing the catalytic converter from the exhaust manifold.
