Hydraulic System Bleeding
- Power steering system must be bled whenever system is opened, or oil level falls so low that the pump picks up air. Fill reservoir to upper mark with fluid.
- Turn engine over with starter while continuing to add fluid. When oil level no longer falls, start engine and let idle.
- Turn steering wheel rapidly from lock-to-lock and back until no further air bubbles rise in reservoir. Turn engine off.
- Operate brake pedal to discharge hydraulic accumulator. During and after operation, fluid level must remain at upper mark.
