A hissing noise is present in the steering gear.
|
| • | Some noise is present in all of the power steering systems. A
hissing sound when the steering wheel is turned and the vehicle is not moving
is common. |
| • | This noise is most evident when turning the wheel while the brakes
are applied. Some hissing noise is normal under these conditions. |
| • | Do not replace the valve unless the hissing noise is extremely
objectionable. A replacement valve has a slight noise and may not correct
the condition. When diagnosing a hissing noise complaint, inspect all of the
steering hoses in order to ensure that the hoses are not touching or grounded
to other parts of the vehicle. |
| • | Improperly sealed supplemental inflatable restraint processing
holes in the steering column |
