Bleeding
1. BLEED POWER STEERING SYSTEM
(a) Check the fluid level (See page PS-2).
(b) Jack up the front of the vehicle and support it with stands.
(c) Turn the steering wheel.
(1) With the engine stopped, turn the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock several times.
(d) Lower the vehicle.

(2) Repeat this procedure several times.
(g) Stop the engine.
(h) Check for foaming or emulsification.

HINT: If the system has to be bled twice because of forming or emulsification, be sure to check for fluid leaks in the system.
(i) Check the fluid level (See page PS-2).

Check mode procedure
HINT:
Check mode has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions and can
detect malfunction that normal mode cannot detect. Check
mode can also detect all the malfunctions that normal mode
can detect. In check mode, DTCs are detected with 1-trip
detection logic.
