Park the vehicle on a paved and flat ground 

and place the front wheels at straight ahead 

direction.

Start the engine and let it run around 1,000 

rpm.

Install the spring scale on the circumference of 

the steering wheel and measure the steering 

effort in both directions.

Steering Angle Check

▶

Place the front wheel on a turning radius 

measuring tool.

Turn the steering wheel to the its both ends 

and measure the maximum steering angle.

If the steering angle is out of the specified 

value, check and adjust the toe-in.

▶

Start the engine and place the wheels at 

straight ahead direction.

Turn the steering wheel until the tires starts to 

move and measure the distance on the 

circumference of the steering wheel.

Oil Change

▶

Open the power fluid reservoir cap and drain 

the fluid completely with oil suction device. To 

make it easy, turn the steering wheel to its 

both ends several times.

Fill up the specified fluid into fluid reservoir 

and bleed air from the steering system.

Oil Level Check

▶

Place the vehicle on a level ground and start 

the engine and let it run at idle speed.

Turn the steering wheel several times so that 

the oil temperature reaches to normal 
operating level (75~85˚C).

Place the steering wheel at straight ahead 

direction.

Check the oil level in the power steering oil 

reservoir. Adjust the oil level between MAX 

and MIN.

4.

If the difference between two measurements 

is below 5 mm and the level is between MAX 

and MIN level, it's normal. If it is over 5 mm, 

bleed air from the system.

Check the fluid level on a level ground with the 

engine turned off. The fluid level should be 

between the MIN and MAX marks on the 

reservoir cap gauge.

Air Bleeding

▶

Lift up the vehicle very carefully.

Turn the steering wheel to its both ends 

several times and add the oil up to MAX line 

in the steering oil reservoir.

Periodically crank the starting motor and turn 

the steering wheel to its both ends without 

any interruption.

Check the oil level again. If the oil level is 

fluctuated, repeat the procedures from step 3 

to step 5.

Start the engine.

Turn the steering wheel to its both ends until 

any bubble can be found in the steering oil 

reservoir.

Perform the test drive and check the steering 

wheel for normal operation and noise.

If the oil level abruptly goes up, bleed the air 

from the system again.

The air bleeding should be done after servicing 

the power steering system and when the 

difference between two measurements (cooled 

and normal temperature) is prominent.

If the air bleeding is not properly performed, 

the life span of the power steering pump 

may be shortened.

Oil Pump Pressure Check

▶

Unscrew the pressure line fitting in power 

steering pump.

Install the pressure gauge between the 

power steering pump and the power steering 

oil pressure line.

Place the shift lever to neutral position. Apply 

the parking brake.

Open the valve in pressure gauge. Start the 

engine and let it run at idle speed.

Turn the steering wheel several times so that 

the oil temperature reaches to normal 

operating level.

Before checking the pressure, check the oil 

level and belt tension. Prepare the empty 

container to collect the spilled oil during the 

service.

Check the oil pump pressure to locate any 

defect in oil pump.

Fully close the valve in pressure gauge and 

measure the oil pressure.
