Taurus X AWD V6-3.5L (2009)
Remove the RH rear bleeder cap and place a box-end wrench on the bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain tube to the RH rear bleeder screw and
submerge the free end of the tube in a container partially filled with clean, specified brake fluid.
4. Open the valve on the bleeder tank.
-
Apply 207-345 kPa (30-50 psi) to the brake system.
5. NOTE: Due to the complexity of the fluid path within the rear integral parking brake calipers, it is necessary to press and release the parking
brake during the bleed procedure.
Loosen the RH rear bleeder screw. Leave open until clear, bubble-free brake fluid flows, then tighten the RH rear bleeder screw.
-
Press and release the parking brake 5 times.
-
Repeat until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
6. Tighten the RH rear bleeder screw to specification. Refer to Specifications.
-
Remove the rubber hose and install the bleeder screw cap.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the LH rear brake caliper.
8. Continue bleeding the front of the system, going in order from the RH front brake caliper and then to the LH front brake caliper.
-
Tighten the front brake caliper bleeder screws to specification. Refer to Specifications.
9. Close the bleeder tank valve and release the pressure. Remove the tank hose from the adapter and remove the adapter. Fill the reservoir with clean,
specified brake fluid and install the reservoir cap.
Manual
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: When any part of the hydraulic system has been 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, including the HCU after it has been correctly connected.
NOTE: The HCU bleeding procedure must be carried out if the HCU or any components upstream of the HCU are installed new.
1. Clean all the dirt from around the brake fluid reservoir cap and remove the cap. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake
fluid.
