initially or after engine start, perform the following:
With a Tech 1, "Release" then "Apply" each motor 2 to 3 times and cycle each solenoid 5 to 10 times. When finished, be sure to "Apply" the front
and rear motors to ensure the pistons are in the upmost position. DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. If a Tech 1 is not available, remove foot from
brake pedal, start the engine and allow it to run for at least 10 seconds to initialize the ABS; DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. After 10 seconds,
turn the ignition "OFF". This initialization procedure MUST be repeated 5 times to ensure any trapped air has been dislodged. Now repeat
bleeding procedure starting at Step 1.
19. Road test the vehicle. Make several normal (non ABS) stops from a moderate speed to ensure proper brake system function. Allow adequate
cooling time between stops.
