Kia Carnival (2007 year). Manual — part 147

a. During air bleeding, replenish the fluid supply so that the level never falls below the lower position of the

filter.

b. If air bleeding is done while the vehicle is idling, the air will be broken up and absorbed into the fluid. Be

sure to do the bleeding only while cranking.

c. Reinstall the fuel pump fuse, and start the engine(idling).

d. Turn the steering wheel to the left and the right until there are no air bubbles in the oil reservoir.

Do not hold the steering wheel turned all the way to either side for more than ten seconds.

e. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is up to the position specified on the level gauge.

f. Confirm that there is little change in the surface o the fluid when the steering wheel is turned left and right.

a. If the surface of the fluid changes considerably, air bleeding should be done again.

b. If the fluid level rises suddenly when the engine is stopped, it indicates that there is still air in the

system.

c. If there is air in the system, a jingling noise may be heard from the pump and the control valve

may also produce unusual noises. Air in the system will shorten the life of the pump and other
parts.

OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST (OIL PUMP RELIEF PRESSURE)

1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump. Connect the special tool between the oil pump and pressure hose

as illustrated.

2. Bleed the air, and then start the engine and turn the steering wheel several times so that the fluid temperature

rises to approximately 50°C (122°F).

3. Set the engine speed to 1,000 rpm.

4. Close the shut-off valve of the special tool and measure the fluid pressure to confirm that it is within the range.

standard vaule :
Relief pressure: 90 +3/-2 kgf/cm

²

Don’t keep the shut-off valve on the pressure gauge closed for longer than seconds.

5. Remove the special tools, and tighten the pressure hose to the specified torque.

Tightening Torque Nm(kgf

·m, lb-ft) :

65 ~ 75(6.5 ~ 7.5, 47 ~ 54)

6. Bleed the system.
