Removing air
1.
NOTE: When pouring the working fluid into the reservoir, make sure the fluid is clean. Do not shake it before use. To reduce the level of air saturation in the fluid, pour it into the reservoir slowly. The fluid level should be checked when the fluid is cold.
Fill the tank with liquid up to the "MAX" mark.
2.
NOTE: Make sure that the fluid level in the reservoir does not fall below the "MIN" mark, as air may have entered the system.
Start the engine and slowly turn the steering wheel all the way to one side and the other.
3. Turn off the engine and inspect the hose connections, steering gear boots, valve block and pump for external leaks.
4. Check the fluid level. If necessary, add the required amount of working fluid.
5.
NOTE: As air is removed from the system, the vacuum will decrease. Maintain the vacuum at the specified level (51 kPa (15 inHg)) using a hand vacuum/pressure pump. If the vacuum drops more than 7 kPa (2 inHg) within 5 minutes, the system should be checked for leaks.
Remove air from the system. Use special tools.
- Start the engine and slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock once. Then turn the steering wheel to the right, almost to the stop.
- Turn off the engine and apply a vacuum of 51 kPa (15 inHg) using a hand vacuum/pressure pump. Maintain the vacuum until all air is removed from the system (5 minutes minimum).
- Release the vacuum from the hand vacuum/pressure pump.
- Repeat the bleeding procedure, this time turning the steering wheel to the left, almost all the way.
6. Remove the hand vacuum/pressure pump and plug. If necessary, add working fluid to the reservoir.
7. Start the engine, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. If there is increased noise, repeat the air bleeding procedure.
8. If the noise level remains unacceptable, leave the vehicle overnight and then repeat the bleeding procedure.
