| Visually inspect the level of the power assisted steering fluid in the reservoir. Conduct a test by steering completely to one side and then releasing the steering wheel | Move on to Step 1 | 1. Fluid level too low. | 1. Restore the correct fluid level: if there are leaks, continue follow the instructions in See table X030 POWER ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM FLUID LEAKS |
| 2. The noise increases towards the end of travel position and with the engine speed (roar) | 2. Move on to Step 1 |
| 3. The noise remains constant (hissing whilst steering, puffing on release) | 3. No intervention is nececssary: the noise is due to the by-pass valve that discharges the excess pressure |
| 1 | CHECK ON POWER ASSISTED STEERING FLUID QUALITY | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |

| Visually inspect the power assisted steering fluid in the reservoir. Make sure that there is no emulsified fluid (fluid that is lighter in colour with bubbles) | Move on to Step 2 | Emulsified fluid. | Eliminate any air infiltration from the power assisted steering system pipes Op. 4130B10 POWER STEERING FLUID RESEVOIR - R.R. |
| 2 | POWER ASSISTED STEERING PIPES CHECK | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
|---|
| Check for constrictions in the flexible and rigid system pipes. | Move on to Step 3 | Pipes faulty. | Replace the damaged parts, replacing all the gaskets. See Assembly Op. 4130B POWER STEERING HYDRAULIC SYTEM |
| 3 | CHECK CORRECT OPERATION OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
