Power steering — bleeding the system (Honda Civic 3)

1. Set the wheels to the straight-ahead position, check the fluid level (see Chapter 1). If necessary, top up to the "Cold" mark (models produced between 1984 and 1987) on the dipstick or to the lower mark of the power steering reservoir (models since 1988)

2. Start the engine and let it idle at high speed. Check the fluid level again.

3. Bleed the system by turning the steering wheel from side to side without sudden stops, thereby removing air from the system. Check the fluid level and top up if necessary.

4. Place the wheels in the straight-ahead position and let the engine run for a few minutes.

5. Conduct a test drive. Make sure the steering mechanism operates normally and without noise.

6. Check the fluid level at the "HOT" (hot) mark when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Adjust the level if necessary.
