WARNING: Use of any other than the approved DOT 3 brake fluid will cause permanent damage to brake components and will render the
brakes inoperative. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice.
In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call: 1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep the master cylinder reservoir filled with
clean, specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with
water.
NOTE: Bleeding the hydraulic control unit (HCU) is required only when removing or installing the HCU, master cylinder or opening the tubes to the
HCU.
1. NOTE: Carrying out the System Bleed function drives trapped air from the HCU. Subsequent bleeding removes the air from the brake hydraulic
system through the bleeder screws.
NOTE: Adequate voltage to the HCU module is required during the anti-lock control portion of the system bleed.
Connect the scan tool.
2. Access the system bleed function and follow the directions on the scan tool.
3. Manually bleed the brake hydraulic system.
4. Repeat the procedure carrying out a total of 2 scan tool cycles and 2 manual bleed cycles.
