Air Bleeding
CAUTION:
Always use genuine PENTOSIN CHF202. Using other type of power steering fluid or ATF can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.
- Jack up the front wheels.
- Fill the reservoir with the power steering fluid up to the level of 'COLD MAX' marked on the reservoir.
CAUTION: Be careful not to start the engine. If starting the engine before performing the next steps 3 through 4, it may cause an abnormal noise during power steering pump operation.
- Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock 5 ~ 6 times for 15 ~ 20 seconds.
- Crank the engine 1 ~ 2 times by turning the ignition key very quickly from the 'On' position to the 'Start' position, but do not start the engine.
- Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock 5 ~ 6 times for 15 ~ 20 seconds.
- Start the engine and keep turning the steering wheel from lock to lock until air bubbles stop appearing in the reservoir with the engine idle.
- Check the color and level of the power steering fluid in the reservoir and then replenish the reservoir up to the 'COLD MAX' level as required.
CAUTION: If the fluid level moves up and down when turning the steering wheel, the fluid overflows out of the reservoir when turning off the engine or the fluid is a white color, it indicates that air bubbles have not been removed sufficiently from the power steering system. Therefore, repeat the steps 5 through 6 as required.
