NOTE: When adding power steering fluid to the reservoir, make sure the fluid is clean. Do not shake the fluid before using it. To reduce the level of air in the fluid, pour it into the reservoir slowly. The fluid level should be checked when the fluid is cold.
Fill the power steering reservoir with working fluid up to the MAX mark.
All vehicles except vehicles with diesel engines
2. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Section 100-02 for additional information.
3. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor connector. REFER to Electrical Schematic Section 700-06- for schematics and electrical component information.
