Steering System - General Information 211-00-3 211-00-3 GENERAL PROCEDURES Power Steering System Flushing Activation CAUTION: Do not mix fluid types. Any mixture or any unapproved fluid may lead to seal deterioration and leaks. A leak may ultimately cause loss of fluid, which may result in a loss of power steering assist. 1. E130730 2. Using a suitable suction device, remove the power steering fluid from the reservoir. 3. Remove the clamp from the hose and allow the remaining fluid to drain out of the reservoir. E130731 4. Plug the power steering fluid reservoir inlet port. E130732 5. Attach an extension hose to the return hose. 6. NOTE: Do not reuse the power steering fluid that has been flushed from the power steering system. Place the open end of the extension hose into a suitable container. 7. If equipped with Hydro-Boost®, apply the brake pedal 4 times. 8. NOTE: Do not overfill the reservoir. Fill the reservoir as needed with the specified fluid. 9. CAUTION: Do not allow the power steering pump to run completely dry of power steering fluid. Damage to the power steering pump may occur. Start the engine and let it idle, simultaneously turn the steering wheel to lock and then immediately turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 10. CAUTION: Avoid turning the steering wheel without the engine running as this may cause air to be pulled into the steering gear. NOTE: Do not overfill the reservoir. Fill the reservoir as needed with the specified fluid.

Repeat Steps 8 and 9, turning the steering wheel in the opposite direction each time, until the fluid exiting the power steering fluid return hose is clean and clear of foreign material. 12.Remove the extension hose from the return hose. 13.Remove the plug from the fluid reservoir inlet port. E130732 14.Install the clamp and connect the power steering return hose to the reservoir. E130731 15.NOTE: If, after correctly filling the power steering system, there is power steering noise accompanied by evidence of aerated fluid and there are no fluid leaks, it may be necessary to bleed the power steering system. Refer to: Power Steering System Filling (211-00 Steering System - General Information, General Procedures). Refer to: Power Steering System Bleeding (211-00 Steering System - General Information, General Procedures).

Steering System - General Information 211-00-5 211-00-5 GENERAL PROCEDURES Power Steering System Bleeding Special Tool(s) 416-D001 Hand Vacuum Pump/Pressure Pump 23036A Activation CAUTION: If the air is not purged from the power steering system correctly, premature power steering pump failure may result. The condition may occur on pre-delivery vehicles with evidence of aerated fluid or on vehicles that have had steering component repairs. NOTE: When filling the power steering fluid reservoir, make sure that the power steering fluid is clean and not agitated prior to use. The power steering fluid should be poured slowly into the reservoir to minimize the possibility of aeration. 16.NOTE: Make sure that the power steering fluid in the power steering fluid reservoir does not fall below the MIN mark, as air could enter the system. Remove the power steering reservoir cap. Check the fluid. E130730 17.Raise and support the vehicle making sure that the road wheels are just clear of the floor. Refer to: Lifting (100-02 Jacking and Lifting, Description and Operation). 18.Special Tool(s): 416-D001 211-265 416-D001 E130717 19.Start the engine and let it idle. 20.Using the Vacuum Pump Kit, apply vacuum and maintain the maximum vacuum of 68-85 kPa (20-25 in-Hg). 21.If the vacuum decreases by more than 5cm-Hg in 5 minutes,check the power steering system for leaks . 22.If equipped with Hydro-Boost®, apply the brake pedal 4 times. 23. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than 5 seconds. Damage to the power steering pump may occur. Cycle the steering wheel fully from stop-to-stop 10 times. 24.Stop the engine. 25.Release the vacuum and remove the Vacuum Pump Kit. 26.NOTE: Do not overfill the reservoir. Fill the power steering fluid reservoir to the MAX mark with the appropriate power steering fluid. 27.Start the engine and let it idle.

Special Tool(s): 416-D001 211-265 416-D001 E130717 29. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than 5 seconds. Damage to the power steering pump may occur. Cycle the steering wheel fully from stop-to-stop 10 times. 30.Stop the engine, release the vacuum and remove the Vacuum Pump Kit. 31.NOTE: Do not overfill the reservoir. Fill the power steering fluid reservoir to the MAX mark with the appropriate power steering fluid. 32. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than 5 seconds. Damage to the power steering pump may occur. NOTE: The points where fluid leakage may occur are indicated in the figure. Visually inspect the power steering system for leaks. Start the engine and let it idle, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. If excessive noise is apparent, repeat the power steering bleeding procedure. E131704
