POWER STEERING FLUID
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
POWER STEERING FLUIDPFP:KLF20
Checking Fluid LevelNGS000BT

Stop engine before performing a fluid level check.

Ensure that fluid level is between the MAX range and MIN level.

Because fluid level differs within the HOT range and the COLD
range, check it carefully.
CAUTION:

Do not overfill the Max level.

Do not reuse any used power steering fluid.

Recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.
Checking Fluid LeakageNGS000BU
Check the hydraulic piping lines for improper attachment and for
leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine until fluid temperature reaches 50 to 80 ° C (122 to
176 °F) in reservoir tank. Keep engine speed idle.
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each “lock” position for five seconds to check fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility that oil pump may
be damaged.)
4. If fluid leakage at connections is noticed, then loosen flare nut and then retighten. Do not over tighten con- nector as this can damage O-ring, washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from oil pump is noticed, check oil pump. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEERING OIL
PUMP" .
6. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of fluid indicating a from steering gear.
Air Bleeding Hydraulic SystemNGS000BV
Incomplete air bleeding causes the following. When this happens, bleed air again.

Generation of air bubbles in reservoir tank.

Generation of clicking noise in oil pump.

Excessive buzzing in oil pump.
NOTE:
When vehicle is stationary or while steering wheel is being turned slowly, some noise may be heard from
oil pump or gear. This noise is normal and does not affect any system.
1. Stop engine, and then turn steering wheel fully to right and left several times. CAUTION:
Do not allow steering fluid reservoir tank to go below the low-level line. Check tank frequently and
add fluid as needed.
2. Run engine at idle speed. Turn steering wheel fully to the right and then fully to the left, and keep for about three seconds. Then check whether a fluid leakage has occurred.
3. Repeat the 2nd procedure several times at about three seconds intervals. CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel in the locked position more than 10 seconds. (There is the possibility
that oil pump may be damaged.)
4. Check generation of air bubbles and cloud in fluid. HOT : Fluid temperatures from 50 to 80
°C (122 to
176 °F)
COLD : Fluid temperatures from 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86 °F)

CAUTION:
Spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if steering column is separated from steering gear
assembly. Therefore fix steering wheel with a string to avoid turns.
REMOVAL
1. Set wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
3. Remove undercover with power tool.

nearly fits with the projection on rear cover cap.
5. Remove cotter pin at steering outer socket, then loosen mount- ing nut.
6. Use a ball joint remover (SST) to remove steering outer socket from steering knuckle. Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
CAUTION:
Tighten temporarily mounting nut to prevent damage to
threads and to prevent ball joint remover (SST) from com-
ing off.
