128Chapter 8 Power Steering SystemSection 1 Power Steering SystemPower Steering System DescriptionPower Steering System consists of the steering wheel, steering transmit device, power steering fixed device
and steering pipelines. The steering gear is rack and pinion type.
Major parameters for steering system:
Cautions:
1. Cautions for steering system
Make sure of the correct replacement of parts, incorrect replacement might affect the performance of
the steering system and lead to driving accidents.
2. Cautions for SRS System
This vehicle is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), driver side air bag and front passenger
side air bag.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the unexpected deployment of
the air bag during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident.Parameter

Notice:
(1) after the installation of the ignition lock core, check the steering lock operation: the
steering mechanism lock when the ignition key is pulled out; the steering mechanism
unlock when the key is inserted and turned to ACC position
(2)The torque of the 2 bolts and 2 nuts securing the steer column assembly:
16~26N.m
(3) connect the wire harness into place and make sure the wiring is good
(4) After properly adjust the positions of the combination switch and the steering column
upper and lower cover, tighten the 3 screws attaching the combination switch and the
steering column

(6) Torque of the 4 set bolts of the dust cover and press plate: 16~26N.m
(7) When installing the steering wheel assembly, align the matchmarks of the steering wheel
and steering main shaft assembly,
Torque of the steering wheel specific inner torx bolt: 40~60N.m
(7) Check the air bag, it is not allowed to use the air bag parts from another vehicle
(8) Check SRS warning lightSection 3 Steering Pipeline ComponentComponents1. Power steering low pressure pipe assembly
2. Power steering high pressure pipe assembly
3. Drive belt
4. Power steering pump with bracket assembly
5. Bolts
6. Washer

134On-vehicle inspection1. check the drive belt
Observe the drive belt for excessive wear and cordline wear. Replace the drive belt if necessary.
Hint: Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If missing chunks from the
ribs are found on the drive belt, it should be replaced.
2. Bleed the power steering system
(1) Check the fluid level
(2) Jack up the front of the vehicle and make sure it is safe
(3) Rotate the steering wheel
a. With the engine off, turn the steering wheel from LH limit position to RH limit position several
times
(4) Release the jack and lower the vehicle
(5) Start the engine, run the engine at idle for a few minutes
(6) Turn the steering wheel to left or right limit position and keep it there for 2 - 3 seconds, then turn the
steering wheel to the opposite limit position and keep it there for 2 - 3 seconds. Repeat it several
times.
(7) Shut off the engine, check for foaming or emulsification in the reservoir. If there is foaming or
emulsification, bleed power steering system repeatedly
(8) Check the fluid level and for leakage
2. Check the fluid level
(1) Park the vehicle on a level surface
(2) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add power steering fluid AT F
DEXRON if necessary.
Hint: the fluid level should be within the range of lowest level and highest level
(3) Check for foaming or emulsification, if there is, drain the power steering systemNormalAbnormal

2. Repair procedures
(1) When the SRS is deployed, the following parts shall be renewed.
1Passenger airbag assembly.
2ECU.
3Driver airbag assembly.
Check the following parts, if abnormal, replace with new ones.
1Clock spring.
2Steering wheel, steering column and steering lower shaft
component.
The installation status of driver airbag assembly in relation to steering wheel.
1Check and see if there is abnormal noise in the steering wheel, the action of the same is good,
or the clearance is normal.
2Check the union joint of the wire harness for damage and the terminal for distortion.
3. ECU
(1) Check the brackets of the ECU Case for recess, crack, distortion, etc.
(2) Check the union joint for damage and terminal for distortion.
(3) Check the installation status of he ECU brackets
1Check the hood for recess, crack, distortion, etc.
2Check the union joint for damage, terminal for distortion
and wire harness for seizure.
3Check the case of the gas generator for recess,
crack and distortion.NOTICE
Due to shock, when the battery power
supply is insufficient, the scan Meter
cannot communicate with ECU, the
instrument panel wire harness shall be
checked and maintained or external
power source shall be used.
