Make sure the P/S reservoir is full. Jack up the front wheels and put them on jack stands. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully to the right and then fully to the left around 10 times. Keep the reservoir full at all times. If you hear a buzzing noise there is air in the system. Walk away for 10 minutes and come back and repeat the procedure again. When you hear no more buzzing the air is removed. Drive the vehicle a day or so and repeat this one more time.

If it is whining when turning, then air may be trapped in the lines. Sometimes filling the reservoir and turning the steering wheel back and forth will bleed the air out. Sometimes not. If bleeding the air out doesn't work then it may be a bad power steering pump. Check the pulley too.
