Montero V6-3.8L SOHC (2005)
b. If the pump motor operation sound is dry and high-pitched, depress the brake pedal 3 or 4 times to introduce fluid into the pump motor.
Then go to step 3.
3. Fill the accumulator system with brake fluid as follows:
1. Wait for the pump motor to stop from step 2.
2. Depress the brake pedal slowly 3 or 4 times with the ignition switch at the "ON" position. Observe the condition of the brake fluid in the
reservoir.
a. If the fluid is cloudy, leave it for 2 or 3 minutes until it becomes clear.
b. Repeat the above procedure (a) until no bubbles appear while pumping the brake pedal.
NOTE: OK to fill the reservoir to the "MAX" line during this process. Brake fluid level around the "MIN" line may cause bubbles to appear
from the jet flow of brake fluid while pumping the brake pedal.
4. Fill the rear brake system with brake fluid as follows (RH first, LH second):
CAUTION:
^
If a large quantity of brake fluid is drained during the bleeding procedure, the accumulator pressure will decrease abnormally. Do not bleed
more than 0.1 dm3 (0.11 quart) from each wheel at a time.
^
Confirm that the pump motor stops after each air-bleeding step.
NOTE: A high-pressure hydraulic noise (hissing) is normal during this procedure.
1. Attach a clear hose to the RH caliper bleeder valve. This helps to monitor air/fluid flow.
2. Be sure the fluid level is between the "MIN" and "MAX" lines.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. Pump the brake pedal 3 - 4 times and hold it depressed.
4. Open the RH caliper bleeder valve 1/4 turn.
5. With the bleeder valve still open, pump the brake pedal repeatedly to fill the line with fluid until no obvious air bubbles are seen. When no
more obvious air bubbles are seen, and while the brake pedal is still being pumped, close the bleeder valve.
6. Repeat steps (1) - (5) for the LH caliper.
7. Release the brake pedal when both sides are filled.
5. Supply brake fluid into the power supply system as follows:
CAUTION: Keep the brake fluid reservoir level just above the "MIN" line at this time. Monitor the fluid level during this procedure to ensure it
does not reach below the "MIN" line.
1. To release the pressure in the HBB power supply system, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position and depress the brake pedal
repeatedly until its depressing force suddenly feels heavy (no pedal travel).
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and at the same time quickly depress the brake pedal approximately 20 times. Then confirm that
the pump motor has stopped. This can take up to 2 minutes.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position and depress the brake pedal repeatedly until its depressing force suddenly feels heavy
(no pedal travel).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position to operate the pump motor. Confirm that the pump motor stops within 25 seconds. If the pump
motor does not stop, repeat steps (1) through (3) above.
6. Supply fluid into the ABS system as follows:
