2. With the engine off, check the working fluid level and top up if necessary.
- Working fluid - ATF DEXRON® II or III
Note: if the working fluid is warm, the fluid level is in the "HOT" range on the tank or dipstick; if it is cold, it is in the "COLD" range.
3. Warm up the working fluid.
a) Start the engine and set the speed to 1000 rpm.
b) Turn the steering wheel several times from lock to lock to increase the temperature of the working fluid to 40-80°C.
4. Check for foaming or emulsification of the fluid. If foaming or emulsification is present, bleed the power steering system.
5. Check for an increase in fluid level.
a) Measure the fluid level with the engine running.
b) Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes and measure the fluid level.
- Maximum increase in liquid level is 5 mm
If the fluid level increases by more than 5 mm, bleed the system.
