Power Steering System-
Steering Pipeline Component4-74 (7)Shut down the motor, and check whether there is any foam or
emulsification in the oil storage. If so, discharge the air
repeatedly.
(8)Check the level height, and check whether there is any
leakage.
2. Check the level height.
(1)Park the vehicle on the horizontal road.
(2)When the motor stops running, check the level height in the oil
tank. If necessary, add some more ATF DEXRONII steering
liquid.Replacement1. Discharge the steering liquid in the power steering system.
2. Remove the power steering high & low pressure oil pipes.
3. Loosen the connector screws of the high & low pressure oil pipes on the steering gear assembly, and loosen the
oil pipe clip.
4. Loosen the drive belt.
5. Remove the power steering pump strap support assembly from the motor. Remove the 3 coupling bolts between
the power steering pump strap support assembly and the motor.
6. Install the power steering pump strap support assembly.
Fasten the steering pump strap support assembly on the motor, and tighten the M10 bolt with a torque of 45-
79N.m and M8 bolt with a torque of 16-26N.m.
7. Install the drive belt, and make sure the position is correct.
8. Install the high & lower pressure oil pipes of the power steering gear assembly.
(1) Connect the connector screw of the high and low pressure oil pipe to the steering gauge with a torque of
19-33N.m.
(2) Fasten the low pressure oil pipe on the body front baffle plate with clip.
(3) Connect the connector screw of the high pressure oil pipe to the power steering pump with a torque of
19-33N.m.
