Achieva L4-144 2.4L DOHC VIN T SFI (1996)
6. Adjust pressure bleed equipment to 35-70 kPa (5-10 psi) and wait for approximately 30 seconds to ensure there is no leakage.
7. Pressure bleed equipment to 205-240 kPa (30-35 psi).
8. Proceed to bleed the hydraulic modulator as follows with pressure bleeding equipment connected and pressurized:
A. Attach a clear plastic bleeder hose to the rearward bleeder valve on the hydraulic modulator. Submerge opposite hose end in a clean container
partially filled with clean brake fluid.
B. Slowly open bleeder valve and allow fluid to flow until no air is seen in fluid.
C. Close valve when fluid flows without any air bubbles.
D. Repeat Steps 8B and 8C until no air bubbles are present.
E. Tighten hydraulic modulator bleeder valve to 9 Nm (80 lb.in.).
F. Relocate the bleeder hose to the hydraulic modulator forward bleeder valve and repeat Steps 8A through 8D.
Brake Pipe Connections
9. Proceed to bleed the hydraulic modulator brake pipe connections as follows with pressure bleeding equipment connected and pressurized:
Important: Use a shop cloth to catch escaping brake fluid. Take care to prevent fluid from running down motor pack and entering the motor pack base
or into the electrical connector. Also, do not allow brake fluid to contact any painted surfaces as surface damage will occur. If brake fluid does contact
any surface, flush surface with water to lessen damage.
A. Crack (slightly open) the forward brake pipe tube nut on the master cylinder and check for air in escaping fluid.
B. When air flow ceases, immediately tighten tube nut.
C. Tighten brake pipe tube nut to 32 Nm (24 lb.ft.).
D. Repeat Steps 9A and 9B for remaining three brake pipe connections, moving from front to rear.
11. Raise vehicle and suitably support. Proceed as follows to bleed wheel brakes in sequence.
Important: Bleed sequence:
Right rear.
Left rear.
Right front.
Left front.
A. Attach bleeder hose to bleeder valve and submerge opposite hose end in a clean container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
B. Slowly open bleeder valve and allow fluid to flow.
