I. Fill and Bleed the Power Steering Hydraulic System (All Models)

1. Check the power steering fluid level. As measured on the side of the power steering reservoir, the level should indicate between MAX and MIN when the fluid is at normal ambient temperature. Adjust the fluid level as necessary.
WARNING: The power steering fluid level should be checked with engine off to prevent injury from moving components.
CAUTION: Only Mopar� Power Steering Fluid + 4 or Mopar� AT F+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid is to be used in the power steering system. Damage may result to the power steering pump and system if another type of fluid is used. Do not overfill the system.
2. Tightly insert the Power Steering Fluid Reservoir Cap Adapter, Special Tool 9688, into the mouth of the power steering reservoir (Figure 24).
3. Attach a hand Vacuum Pump (Special Tool C-4207-A or equivalent) with separator/reservoir attached, to the Power Steering Fluid Reservoir Cap Adapter (Special Tool 9688) (Figure 24).

4. Using the hand vacuum pump, apply 20 +/- 25 in. Hg. (68-85 kPa) of vacuum to the system for a minimum of three minutes.
5. Slowly release the vacuum and remove the special tools.
6. Adjust the power steering fluid level as necessary.
7. Repeat Step #1 through Step #6 until the fluid no longer drops when vacuum is applied.
8. Start the engine and cycle the steering wheel lock-to-lock three times. CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel at the travel stops.
9. Stop the engine and check for leaks at all connections.
10. Check for any signs of air in the reservoir and check the fluid level. If air is present, repeat the procedure as necessary.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the system.
