Power Steering Fluid: Testing and Inspection
STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECKINGWARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS.
CAUTION: Use only Mopar ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid (MS-9602) in the power steering system. Do not overfill the system.
The power steering fluid level can be viewed on the dipstick attached to the filler cap. Before opening the power steering system, wipe the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Remove the cap and check the fluid level on the dipstick. When the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 21°C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F), the fluid level should register between the ADD and FULL markings on the dipstick. The optimum level is at the FULL line.
