Power Steering Fluid: Service and Repair

NON-SRT POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECKING

WARNING: Fluid level should be checked with the engine OFF to prevent personal injury from moving parts and to assure an accurate fluid level reading.

CAUTION: This vehicle features an Electro Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) pump which requires a different power steering fluid. Do not mix power steering fluid types. Damage may result to the power steering pump and system if any other fluid is used. The EHPS system uses fluid which meets material specification MS-11655 or equivalent.

NOTE: Although not required at specific intervals, the fluid level may be checked periodically. Check the fluid level anytime there is a system noise or fluid leak suspected.






NOTE: The power steering fluid reservoir (4) is integrated with the Electro Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) pump.
