The video above shows you the steps needed to check the power steering fluid level in your 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Checking the power steering fluid level in your Explorer Sport Trac is relatively easy and should be done once a month or if you are experienced difficulty turning the wheel or steering your Explorer Sport Trac. Your Explorer Sport Trac should be parked on a level surface and your 4.6 liter engine should be cold to the touch.
If the power steering fluid level in your Explorer Sport Trac is low, fill it up to the maximum line with power steering fluid and check it again in a week to determine if you have a leak. The power steering fluid reservoir will typically have a symbol of a steering wheel on the cap. Likewise, if your Explorer Sport Trac has electric power steering, you may see a steering wheel picture with an explanation point next to it on your dashboard to indicate power steering problems.
