Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Procedures
Component Bleeding
ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) Bleeding
WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that
has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice.
For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not allow the brake master cylinder to run dry during the bleeding operation. Master cylinder may be damaged if operated
without fluid, resulting in degraded braking performance. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Do not spill brake fluid on painted or plastic surfaces or damage to the surface may occur. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or
plastic surface, immediately wash the surface with water.
NOTE: This procedure is only required when a new Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) is installed.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system is disconnected for repair or installation of new components, air can get into the system and cause spongy
brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it is correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with
pressure bleeding equipment.
1. Connect the scan tool and follow the ABS HCU bleeding instructions.
2. Use the pressure or manual bleeding procedure to bleed the system, refer to Brake System Bleeding See: Brake Bleeding/Service and
Repair/Brake System Bleeding.
