P/S Fluid Leakage Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Start engine and turn steering wheel fully to the right and left so that maximum hydraulic pressure is provided. Then visually check gear case, P/S pump and P/S fluid reservoir 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.
