11. Complete the service or replace the steering column assembly, the installation procedure is in the reverse

order of the removal

Notice:

(1) after the installation of the ignition lock core, check the steering lock operation: the

steering mechanism lock when the ignition key is pulled out; the steering mechanism

unlock when the key is inserted and turned to ACC position

(3) connect the wire harness into place and make sure the wiring is good

(4) After properly adjust the positions of the combination switch and the steering column

upper and lower cover, tighten the 3 screws attaching the combination switch and the

steering column

(5) Torque of the universal joint yoke and steering gear assembly locking bolt: 22~34N.m

(6) Torque of the 4 set bolts of the dust cover and press plate: 16~26N.m

(7)  When installing the steering wheel assembly, align the matchmarks of the steering wheel

and steering main shaft assembly,

Torque of the steering wheel specific inner torx bolt: 40~60N.m

(7) Check the air bag, it is not allowed to use the air bag parts from another vehicle

(8) Check SRS warning light

On-vehicle inspection

1. check the drive belt

Observe the drive belt for excessive wear and cordline wear. Replace the drive belt if necessary.

Hint: Cracks on the rib side of a belt are considered acceptable. If missing chunks from the

ribs are found on the drive belt, it should be replaced.

2. Bleed the power steering system

(1) Check the fluid level

(2) Jack up the front of the vehicle and make sure it is safe

(3) Rotate the steering wheel

a. With the engine off, turn the steering wheel from LH limit position to RH limit position several

times

(4) Release the jack and lower the vehicle

(5) Start the engine, run the engine at idle for a few minutes

(6) Turn the steering wheel to left or right limit position and keep it there for 2 - 3 seconds, then turn the

steering wheel to the opposite limit position and keep it there for 2 - 3 seconds. Repeat it several

times.

(7) Shut off the engine, check for foaming or emulsification in the reservoir. If there is foaming or

emulsification, bleed power steering system repeatedly

(8) Check the fluid level and for leakage

2. Check the fluid level

(1) Park the vehicle on a level surface

(2) With the engine stopped, check the fluid level in the reservoir. Add power steering fluid  ATF

DEXRON  if necessary.

Hint: the fluid level should be within the range of lowest level and highest level

(3) Check for foaming or emulsification, if there is, drain the power steering system

Normal

Abnormal

Replacement

1. Drain the power steering system fluid

2. Remove the power steering high and low pressure pipe

3. Loosen the union screw of the high and low pressure pipe on the steering gear assembly, loosen the pipe

clip.

4. Loosen the drive belt

5. Remove the power steering pump with bracket assembly from the engine

Remove the 4 attaching bolts between the steering pump belt bracket and the engine

6. Install the power steering pump bracket assembly

Secure the power steering pump bracket assembly to the engine,

The torque of the M10 bolt is 45~79N.m, the torque of the M8 bolt is 16~26N.m

7. Install the drive belt, make sure the installation position is correct

8. Install the power steering high and low pressure pipe

(1)Connect the union thread of the high and low pressure pipe to the steering gear,

torque: 19~33N.m

(2) Use the retaining clip to secure the low pressure pipe to the cowl baffle panel of the body

(3)Connect the union thread of the high pressure pipe to the power steering pump,

torque: 19~33N.m

(4) Connect the union thread of the low pressure pipe to the reservoir,  torque: 19~33N.m

9. Bleed the power steering pipeline system, check the pipeline system for leakage

10. Check the oil reservoir inner fluid level
