Table of signs of malfunction (Honda CR-V 2)

Find the malfunction symptom in the following table and perform the corresponding procedures in the order given until you find the cause of the malfunction.

Sign of malfunction	Troubleshooting procedure	Also check
The steering wheel turns with difficulty	Troubleshoot your system.	Changes have been made to the suspension. The suspension is damaged. Tire size, brand and tire pressure.
Gain(excessively easy handling at high speed).	Check the steering rack guide adjustment.	Adjusting the front wheel alignment angles.
Shock or vibration when turning the steering wheel all the way.	1. Check the steering rack guide adjustment. 2. Check if the drive belt is slipping. 3. Repair the steering mechanism.
The steering wheel turns jerkily.	1. Check if the cylinder tubes are deformed. 2. Check the front wheel alignment. 3. Repair the steering mechanism.
Uneven or hard steering.	1. Check the steering rack guide adjustment. 2. Check the drive belt. 3. Check if the engine is running at low or unstable idle speed. 4. Check if air has entered the power steering system due to low fluid level. 5. Check if the fluid level in the power steering reservoir has dropped due to possible leaks in the system. 6. Repair the steering mechanism.
The steering wheel provides feedback on large radius turns.	1. Check the drive belt. 2. Check the fluid pressure in the power steering pump.
Humming.	1. Check when the noise occurs: If the noise is heard 2-3 minutes after starting the engine from a cold state, this is normal. If the noise is heard when turning the steering wheel while the car is stationary, this is normal and is caused by fluid pulsation. 2. Check if the high pressure hose is touching the subframe or body. 3. Check if there is noise coming from the automatic transmission torque converter. 4. Check for air bubbles in the power steering fluid.	Pump pressure
Rattling or vibration (rack rattling)	1. Check for play in the steering components (steering rods and ball joints). Tighten or replace as appropriate. 2. Check the steering column shaft runout. If there is runout, replace the steering column assembly. 3. Check the steering rack guide adjustment. 4. Check the power steering pump pulley. If the pulley is loose, tighten it. If there is play on the pump shaft, replace the pump
Hiss	Check the fluid level. If it is low, add fluid to bring it to the required level and check for leaks. Check for leaks from the tank. Check that the supply hose is not damaged or that the hose clamp through which air enters the system from the suction side is not loose. Check for leaks through the power steering pump shaft seal.	Air in the power steering fluid
Noise from the pump	Compare the noise from the pump at normal operating temperature to another similar vehicle (noise from the pump 2-3 minutes after starting the engine from a cold state - this is normal). Remove the pump and inspect for wear or damage.	Power steering pump pressure Air in the power steering fluid
Creak	Check the drive belt.
Steering fluid leaks	Fluid leaking from top of valve body: Repair valve body. Fluid leaking from boot A: Replace valve seal on worm shaft. Replace the seal on the end of the cylinder on the steering gear side. Fluid leaking from boot B: Replace the seal on the right (on a right-hand drive vehicle: on the left) end of the cylinder. Fluid leak at worm shaft near lower steering column joint bolt: repair valve body.
Liquid leaks from tubes	Liquid leaking from fittings (socket nuts) cylinder tubes: tighten the fittings and recheck. Fluid leaking from damaged cylinder tubes: Replace cylinder tubes. Liquid leaking from the pump outlet hose or outlet tube fitting on the valve body of the fittings (socket nuts): Tighten the fittings and recheck. If the leak continues, replace the hose, tube or valve body, as appropriate.
Liquid leaks from the pump	Fluid leaking from front oil seal: Replace front oil seal. Fluid leaking from power steering pump housing: Replace leaking O-rings or seals. Replace the power steering pump if necessary.
Fluid leaks from the tank	Fluid leaking near the reservoir cap: fluid level too high: empty the reservoir to the required level. Liquid with air bubbles: check for air leaks at the pump inlet. Fluid leaking from the reservoir: check the reservoir for cracks and replace if necessary.
Liquid leaks from the drain hose (high pressure) pump	Check that the bolts on the fittings are not loose. If the bolts are tight, replace the nipple O-ring. Fluid leak at joints: replace the drain hose.
Liquid leaks from the supply hose (low pressure) pump	Check the hose for damage, wear, and whether the hose is connected correctly. Replace or repair as appropriate.
