Power Steering Troubleshooting Chart
Review this troubleshooting chart any time a power steering system problem is present. This chart will help deter-
mine if the power steering pump or power steering gear is functioning properly.
CONDITIONPOSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTION
Steering Wheel Is Loose · Steering wheel retaining bolt loose.
· Loose steering column to
instrument panel fasteners.· Check steering wheel retaining bolt
torque and tighten to specifications if
necessary.
· Check steering column to
instrument panel fastener torque and
tighten to specifications if necessary.
Steering Catches, Surges Or Sticks
In Certain Positions Or Is Difficult To
Turn · Low power steering fluid level.
· Tire(s) not properly inflated.
· Loose or slipping power steering/
accessory drive belt.
· Lack of lubrication in steering gear
outer tie rod end(s).· Check fluid level and fill to proper
level if necessary. Check for leaks.
Make sure all air is bled from
system.
· Check and inflate tires to the
specified pressure.
· Verify belt tension. Replace belt
auto-tensioner and belt if necessary.
· Check the outer tie rod ends.
Steering Wheel Does Not Return To
Center Position · Tire(s) not properly inflated.
· Improper front wheel alignment.· Check and inflate tires to the
specified pressure.
· Check and adjust wheel alignment
if necessary.
Excessive Steering Wheel Kickback
From Road Inputs · Air in power steering fluid.
· Power steering gear loose on
cradle/sub-frame.
· Steering column, coupling or
intermediate shaft worn or loose.
· Power steering pump flow is too
low.· Inspect for excessive air bubbles in
fluid (fluid will appear foamy and
lighter in color). Inspect hoses for
leaks and replace if necessary.
Bleed air from fluid.
· Inspect gear mounting bolts.
Replace if necessary and tighten to
specifications.
· Rotate steering wheel back-and-
forth while inspecting intermediate
shaft going into steering gear. Look
for excessive free-play. Retighten if
loose bolt is found. Replace steering
column, coupling or intermediate
shaft if necessary.
· Perform power steering flow and
pressure test. Look for low or erratic
flow or pressure. Replace power
steering pump if necessary.

Vehicle Inspection
There is some noise in all power steering systems. One of the most common is a hissing sound. Hiss is a high
frequency noise similar to that of a water tap being closed slowly. The noise is present in all valves that have a high
velocity steering fluid passing through an orifice. There is no relationship between this noise and steering perfor-
mance. The hissing sound is commonly heard during the following operations:
•Evident at a standstill
• At park with the engine running
• When the steering wheel is at the end of its travel

Steering Wheel
Removal & Installation
WARNING!
Before servicing the steering column, the airbag system must be disarmed. Failure to do so may result in acci-
dental deployment of the airbag and possible personal injury (See Airbag System Disarming Procedure in Sec-
tion 14 Restraints).
NOTE :
To help maintain alignment of the spiral cable connector during reassembly, apply a small piece of tape to the spiral
cable and the steering column to keep them in alignment.1. Set the front wheels to the straight-ahead position.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the driver airbag (See Driver Airbag Removal & Installation in Section 14 Restraints).
4. Disconnect the spiral cable electrical connector.
5. Remove the steering wheel lock nut (1). (Tighten: Steering wheel lock nut to 25 - 30 N·m)
6. Using the steering wheel puller, remove the steer- ing wheel.
7. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation Notes:
• The spiral cable could be damaged if installed in an improper position.
• Do not rotate the spiral cable quickly or beyond the limit of turns (this can cause the cable to snap).
• Verify the airbag system is operating properly after the repair is complete.

NOTE :
This test should be performed during a road test.
•Make smooth turns and sharp turns. Check the driving senseto ensure there is no difference between the left
and right turns in terms of steering force and the steering wheel returning to center.
• When the vehicle speed is between 20 to 30 km/h, turn the steering wheel 90° for 1 or 2 seconds and release
the steering wheel. If the steering wheel returns
over 70°, the steering wheel return function can be
considered good.
NOTE :
When rapidly turning the steering wheel, there will be a sense of “heavy”, however, this does not indicate a problem
with the steering system. This is due to insufficient steering fluid supplied to the steering fluid pump during idle
speed.
