Manual Description
This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter. Hold steering wheel at each lock position for five seconds and carefully check for fluid leakage.
If fluid leakage from power steering oil pump is noticed, check the power steering oil pump. Check steering gear boots for accumulation of power steering fluid, indicating a steering gear leak. Then quickly turn the steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering stoppers.
This is common when the vehicle is stationary or while turning the steering wheel slowly. If steering wheel turning force is out of specification, check rack P sliding force. Remove spiral cable from steering column assembly with combination switches attached.
