1 1 of 9 GM Century/Lumina/Grand Prix/Intrigue Power Steering Pump REMOVAL & INSTALLATION BLEEDING When servicing the power steering pump, inspect the power steering fluid. Look for foaming, milky power steering fluid, low fluid level and leaks in the hoses and lines. If the fluid has a foamy or milky appearance, it could be caused by air in the fluid and loss of fluid due to internal pump leakage causing overflow. Extremely low temperatures will cause air bubbles in the system if the fluid level is low. If the fluid level is correct and the pump still foams, look for air entry (cracked housing, etc.). Your W-Body vehicle may be equipped with the MAGNASTEER system, a speed-dependent power steering system. The system provides power assist at varying levels depending on need. A bi-directional magnetic rotary actuator in the steering gear adjusts the amount of torque (driver effort) necessary to turn the steering wheel. The MAGNASTEER system is controlled through software in the Antilock Brake System (ABS) electronic control module or the Electronic Brake Traction Control Module (EBTCM) and varies the amount of torque by adjusting the current flow through the actuator. The amount of adjustment will be directly related to vehicle speed. The controller receives speed-related input signals from the vehicle speed sensor in the transaxle. GM recommends their Power Steering Fluid (pint) or (quart) or equivalent. A special cold weather fluid is available under part number (pint) and (quart). Please note that GM specifies that the system should be flushed and bled prior to switching fluid types. Power steering fluid level is indicated by marks on the fluid level indicator on the fluid reservoir cap. If the fluid is warmed up (about 150, hot to the touch), the fluid level should be between the HOT and COLD marks. If the fluid is cool (about 70 ), the fluid level should be between the ADD and COLD marks. 1L and 4L (VIN E) Engines

Connect the negative battery cable. Install the air cleaner and duct assembly. Fill and bleed the power steering system. Check the system for leaks, road test and recheck the fluid level. 5L (VIN H) Engine Please note that the power steering pump pulley must be removed to access the pump retaining bolts. Special tools are required to draw the pulley off the pump shaft and to later press the pulley onto the pump shaft. A shop press cannot be used to install the pulley or the pump will be damaged. Place a drain pan under the vehicle. Remove the coolant surge tank (coolant reservoir). Remove the cosmetic/acoustic engine cover. Remove the accessory drive belt. Please see. Remove the accessory wiring junction block and set aside. Remove the power steering pump pulley from the pump noting the following: Use a power steering pump pulley remover. These pullers typically have a ridge that surrounds the collar on the pulley center. Turn the puller screw making sure the center screw is centered in the end of the pump shaft. Draw the pulley from the pump shaft.

Check the system for leaks, road test and recheck the fluid level. The power steering fluid replacement procedure is a two-stage process: first, flushing the old fluid from the system with new fluid and second, bleeding the system to remove any trapped air. The following sequences outline these procedures. Raise and safely support the front end of the vehicle off the ground until the front wheels are free to turn. Remove the fluid return line at the pump reservoir inlet connector. Plug the inlet connector port on the pump reservoir. Position the fluid return line toward a container (several quart capacity) to catch the draining fluid. When an assistant fills the reservoir with either the standard power steering fluid or optional cold weather power steering fluid, start and run the engine at idle. Turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop.

8 8 of 9 WARNING Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops while flushing the system. Holding the steering wheel against the stops will cause high system pressure, overheating and damage to the pump and/or the steering gear assembly. Continue draining until all of the old fluid is cleared from the power steering system. The addition of another quart of fresh fluid will be required to flush the system. Turn the engine OFF. Unplug the pump reservoir inlet and reconnect the return line. Fill the reservoir to the FULL COLD mark. Fig. Power steering system bleeding After replacing the fluid or servicing the power steering hydraulic system, you must bleed air from the system. Air in the system prevents an accurate fluid level reading, causes pump cavitation noise and over time could damage the pump. To bleed the power steering system, proceed as follows. 1 1 Begin with the engine OFF, front wheels off the ground and the wheels turned all the way to the left. Add either standard power steering fluid or optional cold climate fluid to the FULL COLD mark on the fluid level indicator. With the engine still OFF, bleed the system by turning the wheels from stop-to-stop, but without hitting the stops. NOTE This may require turning the wheels from side to side up to 40 times. Keep the fluid level at the FULL COLD

9 9 of 9 12/12/ :40 AM mark. Fluid with air in it may have a light tan appearance. This air must be eliminated from the fluid before normal steering action can be obtained Start the engine. With the engine idling, recheck the fluid level. If necessary, add fluid to bring the level to the FULL COLD mark. Return the front wheels to the center position. Verify that the transaxle is in PARK and that the parking brake had been firmly set. Lower the front wheels to the ground. Continue running the engine for two or three minutes. Test drive the vehicle to be sure the power steering functions normally and is free from noise. NOTE Inspect for fluid leakage at the connection points along the power steering system. 1 Recheck the fluid level. The fluid level should now be up to the FULL HOT mark after the system has stabilized at operating temperature. Back to Top
