  4. Assemble the return hose to the power steering pipe component.
  5. Working with two people, one person protects the area around the sub tank using a cloth and adds fluid to the sub tank.
    CAUTION:
    • Do not spread a cloth near the drive belt, otherwise the cloth could get caught in the drive belt when starting the engine causing damage to parts in the engine compartment.
  6. The other person starts the engine and idles it.
  7. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right slowly several times.
    • If the steering wheel operation speed is too fast, the fluid may spatter from the filler port. Do not exceed the steering wheel operation speed reference value.

      Steering wheel operation speed (reference value) 

    1. 90 °/s
  8. Inspect the fluid level and, if the fluid level has dropped, repeat Step  5-7 until the level is between MAX and MIN on the sub tank while idling the engine.
