Bleed Air from Power Steering Fluid Line

Click on the appropriate illustration buttons.
 

 

If the power steering fluid line has been disconnected, bleed air from the fluid line as directed below.
1. Fill the power steering fluid.
2.
Lift up the vehicle until the tyres have left the ground.
3.
Perform steering wheel lock-to-lock operations several times while filling steering fluid with the engine not running, and repeat this operation cycle until air bubbles have disappeared from the reservoir.
 
HINT:
If the above operations are performed with the engine running, the fluid will bubble and the bubbles will flow into the steering gear, with the result that it will take a great deal of time for the air to be completely removed.
