2004 Honda Accord noise from power steering pump


RESPONSE

In most cases a noise from power steering pump is caused by low fluid level. If the fluid level is low, top it off  and test. Don’t forget it may be wise to check for leaks in the system. Repair any leaks found and top off the fluid level. If the level was completely empty, repair it and then bleed the system. Top off the fluid level and start the engine. Turn the steering wheel all the way one way, hold for a second or two and then turn the other way. This will bleed the system of any air bubbles. Let set for a minute and check the fluid level. Top off if needed.
