CHECKING POWER STEERING
FLUID
Check the fluid level on the dipstick. If necessary, add
automatic transmission fluid DEXRON II or III.
If the vehicle has been driven around 80 km/h (50 mph) for
20 minutes (a little more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is
hot (60C±80C or 140F±175F). You may also check the
level when the fluid is cold (about room temperature,
10C±30C or 50F±85F) if engine has not been run for
about five hours.

If cold O.K.If hot O.K.Add fluid
1. Clean all dirt off the reservoir.
2. Remove the filler cap by turning it counterclockwise and
wipe the dipstick clean.
3. Reinstall the filler cap.
4. Remove the filler cap again and look at the fluid level. If
the fluid is cold, the level should be in the ªCOLDº range on
the dipstick. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level should be in
the ªHOTº range. If the level is at the low side of either range,
add automatic transmission fluid DEXRON
II or III to bring
the level within the range.
5. After replacing the filler cap, visually check the steering
box case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or
damage.
