P/S Fluid Leakage Check

Start engine and turn steering wheel fully to the right and left so that maximum hydraulic pressure is provided.

Then visually check P/S gear case assembly (1), P/S pump (2) and P/S fluid reservoir (3) themselves and each joint of their connecting pipes for leakage.

CAUTION: If the steering wheel is held at the fully turned position for too long, the P/S pump will be damaged. Do not hold the steering wheel at the fully turned position for more than 10 seconds.
