The power steering for a Jeep Cherokee is powered by a rotary vane pump that is designed to transmit power to the steering system when force is applied to it. When you turn the steering wheel, the power steering pump engages and decreases the force needed for the driver to turn the steering wheel. The steering system on a Jeep Cherokee works with the same principle as all steering systems. Troubleshooting the steering components can be as simple as discovering a leaky steering pump to twisted linkage underneath the Jeep. Drive the Cherokee to listen and feel for any inadequacies. Note whether the vehicle has a loss of power steering at any time. Determine whether the problem is constant or intermittent. If the problem is intermittent, make a note of when exactly it occurs.

Unscrew the cap on the reservoir, and pull the cap
