MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Power Steering
Procedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power Steering
(Ensure that the Power Steering fluid reservoir is clean before
starting any work)
1. Fill the reservoir till it is nearly full, when the system is newly
installed otherwise fill up to 'Max' mark on reservoir. Crank the
engine for 10 seconds without allowing it to start (if possible). If
engine does start, shut the engine immediately.
Check & refill the reservoir. Repeat at least three times, each
time checking & refilling the reservoir.
2. Check for any leakage in the system and if noticed take corrective
action.
3. Start the engine & steer the car from full left to full right turn 3-4
times.
4. Add fluid if necessary to maintain the level upto 'Max' mark on
reservoir.
Do not force the wheel in lock position either to the extreme
left or right. The power steering pump may get damaged.
Hold it gently.
5. When the engine is at steady speed, check for bubbles or foaming
in the oil. If present it indicates that air is getting sucked into the
system. Check the suction line/fittings and correct if necessary.
