• Q: How to Service and Repair the Power Steering Hose on 2009 Ford Focus?

  A: The starting point for servicing or repairing power steering lines requires you to remove the battery and its tray before cutting off the pressure line from its retainer with pressure and return lines. Automatic transmission vehicles need to detach the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor electrical connector from the transmission before placing the connector and wiring harness safely out of the pressure line path. The service requires uninstalling two components: the lower radiator air deflector and the power steering pump pulley. Detach the electrical connector from the Power Steering Pressure sensor then take off the PSP sensor from the pressure line while securing it with 20 Nm (177 lb-in) torque before reinstalling. When reinstalling the pump tighten the power steering pressure line fitting to a torque of 65 Nm (48 lb-ft). The first step entails removing the A/C compressor line bracket from the compressor stud through harness wiring and losing then tightening the pressure line-to-stud nut to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). The procedure starts with loose fitting of A/C line bracket screw and then positions both A/C line and pressure line brackets away from the A/C compressor stud. First disconnect the pressure line bracket-to-starter stud retainer wire harness then remove the pressure line bracket-to-starter stud nut before placing the pressure line bracket to the side by tightening it to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). Detach the steering line-to-steering gear retainer bolt before releasing the pressure line. Afterward remove the pressure line from the steering gear by unbolting the clamp plate and rotating it to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) torques settings during reassembly. The technicians should remove the pressure line from each set of four pressure and return line retainers. The selector lever cable must be detached from automatic transmission components by pinching retainer clips and gently pulling out to break the connection between the cable bracket and subsequently pulling the cable end free from the shift shaft lever while setting the disconnected cable and retainers away from the pressure line. The power steering system requires filling after the pressure line removal when the routing installation is correctly in place.
