Oil Change ▶
Open the power fluid reservoir cap and drain
the fluid completely with oil suction device. To
make it easy, turn the steering wheel to its
both ends several times.
Fill up the specified fluid into fluid reservoir
and bleed air from the steering system. 1.
2. Oil Level Check ▶
Place the vehicle on a level ground and start
the engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so that
the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level (75~85˚C).
Place the steering wheel at straight ahead
direction.
Check the oil level in the power steering oil
reservoir. Adjust the oil level between MAX
and MIN. 1.

If the difference between two measurements
is below 5 mm and the level is between MAX
and MIN level, it's normal. If it is over 5 mm,
bleed air from the system. Check the fluid level on a level ground with the
engine turned off. The fluid level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir cap gauge.

Air Bleeding ▶
Lift up the vehicle very carefully.
Turn the steering wheel to its both ends
several times and add the oil up to MAX line
in the steering oil reservoir.
Periodically crank the starting motor and turn
the steering wheel to its both ends without
any interruption.
Check the oil level again. If the oil level is
fluctuated, repeat the procedures from step 3
to step 5.
Start the engine.
Turn the steering wheel to its both ends until
any bubble can be found in the steering oil
reservoir.
Perform the test drive and check the steering
wheel for normal operation and noise.
If the oil level abruptly goes up, bleed the air
from the system again. 1.

The air bleeding should be done after servicing
the power steering system and when the
difference between two measurements (cooled
and normal temperature) is prominent.

If the air bleeding is not properly performed,
the life span of the power steering pump
may be shortened. -

Oil Pump Pressure Check ▶
Unscrew the pressure line fitting in power
steering pump.
Install the pressure gauge between the
power steering pump and the power steering
oil pressure line.
Place the shift lever to neutral position. Apply
the parking brake.
Open the valve in pressure gauge. Start the
engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so that
the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level. 1.

Before checking the pressure, check the oil
level and belt tension. Prepare the empty
container to collect the spilled oil during the
service. Check the oil pump pressure to locate any
defect in oil pump.
Fully close the valve in pressure gauge and
measure the oil pressure. 6.
Relief pressure
90 ± 3 bar
Oil pump
Steering gear box
To prevent internal damage, do not close
the gauge valve over 10 seconds.
Keep the oil temperature at proper range. -

Measure the oil pressure with the gauge valve
fully open. 7.
Pressure at no load
3 to 5 bar
If the pump pressure is in specified range, the
pump is normal. If not, replace the power
steering pump 8.
Turn the steering wheel right or left until it
stops with the engine idling and valve fully
open. 9.
Oil pressure78 to 83 bar
To prevent the internal damage, do not close
the gauge valve for over 10 seconds.
Keep the oil temperature at proper range. -

2. SYSTEM LAYOUT
The steering pump is driven by the engine power through a belt. This pump circulates the power steering
oil from the reservoir -> steering pump -> oil supply pipe -> steering gear box -> oil return pipe ->
reservoir to perform steering operations
