1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
(a) Keep the vehicle level.
(b) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
If necessary, add fluid.
Fluid: ATF DEXRON® II or III
HINT:
Check that the fluid level is within the HOT LEVEL range on the
reservoir. If the fluid is cold, check that it is within the COLD
LEVEL range.
(c) Start the engine and run it at idle.
(d) Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to
boost fluid temperature.
Fluid temperature: 80°C (176°F)
(e) Check for foaming or emulsification.
If there is foaming or emulsification, bleed power steering
system.
(See page SR±4)
(f) With the engine idling, measure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Wait a few minutes and remeasure the fluid level in the oil
reservoir.
Maximum fluid level rise: 5 mm (0.20 in.)
If a problem is found, bleed power steering system.
(See page SR±4)
(i) Check the fluid level.

(g) With the engine idling, open the valve fully.
(h) Measure the fluid pressure at engine speeds of 1,000 rpm
and 3,000 rpm.
Difference fluid pressure:
490 kPa (5 kgf´cm
2, 71 psi) or less
NOTICE:
Do not turn the steering wheel.
(i) With the engine idling and valve fully opened, turn the
steering wheel to full lock.

STEERING WHEEL
INSPECTION
1. CHECK STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY
With the vehicle stopped and tires facing straight ahead, rock
the steering wheel gently back and forth with light finger pres-
sure.

Reference: 5.9 N´m (60 kgf´cm, 52 in.´lbf)
HINT:
Be sure to consider the tire type, pressure and contact surface
before making your diagnosis.
(e) Torque the steering wheel set nut.
Torque: 35 N´m (360 kgf´cm, 26 ft´lbf)
(f) Install the steering wheel pad.
