2. Disconnect the high-voltage wire from the ignition coil (1.3L engine) or the connector from the ignition coil (1.8L engine). On a vehicle with a 1.3L engine, do not place the disconnected high-voltage wire near the fuel rail.
3. Periodically turn on the starter for 15-20 seconds and at the same time turn the steering wheel from lock to lock 5-6 times.
Warnings
- (1) During bleeding, constantly add fluid so that its level in the tank is between the MIN and MAX marks. When removing air, constantly check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
- (2) If bleeding is performed when the engine crankshaft is not rotating, the air will be dissolved in the fluid again. Make sure to perform bleeding while the engine crankshaft is rotating.
4. Connect the high-tension wire to the ignition coil (1.3L engine) or the connector to the ignition coil (1.8L engine), start the engine and let it run at idle speed
5. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times. Check that the fluid does not foam and that its level has not dropped.
Note: To avoid damage, do not hold the steering wheel at full lock for more than 10 seconds.
6. Check that the fluid is not milky and that its level is between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the tank.
7. Make sure that there is a slight change in the fluid level when turning the steering wheel left and right.
8. Make sure that the difference in the levels of the working fluid in the tank with the engine running and not running is within 5 mm (see fig. 16.7).
9. If the difference in levels is more than 5 mm, it means that the air has not been completely removed from the hydraulic system, so the air removal operation should be repeated.
Warnings!
- (1) If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine has been stopped, there is still air in the system.
- (2) If there is air in the hydraulic power steering system, abnormal noise will be heard when the pump is running. Air in the system will shorten the service life of the pump and other parts.
