Relieving System Pressure/Brake Fluid Replacement/Bleeding
CAUTION: Do not loosen the relief plug on the accumulator.
NOTE: Brake fluid replacement procedure explained in this section is for the brake fluid in the modulator unit (that is, the brake fluid in the
high-pressure passage and in the reservoir).
1. Remove the bleeder cap from the maintenance bleeder on the modulator unit.
2. Attach the wrench to the maintenance bleeder.
3. Connect a rubber tube of the appropriate diameter to the maintenance bleeder, and set the other end of the rubber tube in a suitable container.
4. While holding the rubber tube with your hand, slowly loosen the maintenance bleeder 1/8 to 1/4 to collect the brake fluid in the container.
CAUTION: Do not loosen the maintenance bleeder too much. The high-pressure brake fluid can burst out.
5. Tighten the maintenance bleeder.
NOTE: Do not remove the rubber tube and wrench yet.
6. Start the engine and let it idle for a minute. Stop the engine.
7. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. It should be below the MAX (upper) level line.
8. Repeat the steps 4 through 7 to drain the rest of the brake fluid from the modulator unit.
NOTE: The modulator has a capacity of approximately 150 ml (150 cc, 5 FL-oz). Approximately 40 - 45 ml (40 - 45 cc, 1.3 - 1.5 FL-oz) of the fluid
is drained at each try.
9. Remove the cap, and refill the reservoir to the MAX (upper) level with fresh brake fluid.
NOTE: Pour the brake fluid slowly so that it does not foam, and wait for a few minutes.
10. Repeat steps 4 through 7 twice, and refill the reservoir to the MAX (upper) level with fresh brake fluid. When the brake fluid is completely drained
