Power Steering Oil Pump Whine Noise - All Models
When replacing a power steering oil pump or inspecting a vehicle for a customer concern with power steering whine noise, inspect the filter screen in the
power steering reservoir for contamination. If the filter screen has debris the fluid will be restricted from supplying the power steering pump[ and may
cause the fluid to aerate and cause a whine noise.
If debris or dirt is found in the reservoir filter screen, the reservoir should be replaced.
Tech TIP: It may be necessary to empty the power steering reservoir to properly inspect the filter screen for contamination.
^ PSF-III is not available through Kia Chemicals: Use a high quality power steering fluid like Valvoline(R) or equivalent, DO NOT use ATF in place of
power steering fluid.
^ Some models use PSF-4 which is available through PDC.
Always use the correct recommended fluids as required!
