2023 Ford E-350 Power Steering Fluid Check
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
- WARNING: A fluid level between the MAX and MIN lines is within the normal operating range and there is no need to add fluid. A fluid level not in the normal operating range could compromise the performance of the system.
- WARNING: For E-350 and E-450 vehicles with the Hydro-Boost Brake System, do not press the brake pedal after the engine has been turned off. Pressing the brake pedal after the engine has been turned off will give a false power steering fluid level reading.
Only use fluid that meets Ford specifications. See Hydraulic Power Steering Fluid Capacity and Specification (page 234).
To top up the power steering fluid level do the following.
- Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature.
- Make sure the fluid is within the MIN and MAX range.
- If the fluid level is low, add fluid to be within the MIN and MAX range. Do not overfill.
- While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right several times.
- Recheck the fluid level in the reservoir.
Note: Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level.
