Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
About Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding
Notice: Brake fluid will damage electrical connections and painted surfaces. Use shop cloths, suitable containers, and fender covers to prevent brake
fluid from contacting these areas. Always re-seal and wipe off brake fluid containers to prevent spills.
If air has entered the hydraulic brake system, bleed the system. You may need to bleed the hydraulic brake system at all four wheels due to one of the
following conditions:
-
Air entered the system due to a low fluid level.
-
The brake pipes have been disconnected at the master cylinder.
-
The brake pipes have been disconnected at the combination valve.
If a pipe is disconnected at one wheel, then only bleed that wheel.
If the master cylinder has been removed, bleed the master cylinder before installing it on the vehicle in order to reduce the time required to bleed the
system.
If the Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV) has been replaced or has air trapped it, refer to Brake Pressure Modulator Valve Replacement in
Antilock Brake System.
