Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.
NOTE:
Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the
engine is started in extremely cold conditions
(below - 4°F). If the noise stops during
warm up, there is no abnormal function in
the system. It is due to a power steering
fluid characteristic in extremely cold conditions.
Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluid
NOTE:
Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections for fluid leakage at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be replaced if there is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose could cause premature failure.
