10. Wait approximately 30 seconds, then inspect the entire hydraulic brake system in order to ensure that there are no existing external brake fluid
leaks.
Any brake fluid leaks identified require repair prior to completing this procedure.
11. Install a proper box-end wrench onto the RIGHT REAR wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve.
12. Install a transparent hose over the end of the bleeder valve.
13. Submerge the open end of the transparent hose into a transparent container partially filled with GM approved, or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid
from a clean, sealed brake fluid container.
14. Loosen the bleeder valve to purge air from the wheel hydraulic circuit. Allow fluid to flow until air bubbles stop flowing from the bleeder, then
tighten the bleeder valve.
15. With the right rear wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve tightened securely, after all air has been purged from the right rear hydraulic circuit,
install a proper box-end wrench onto the LEFT FRONT wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve.
16. Install a transparent hose over the end of the bleeder valve, then repeat steps 13-14.
17. With the left front wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve tightened securely, after all air has been purged from the left front hydraulic circuit, install
a proper box-end wrench onto the LEFT REAR wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve.
18. Install a transparent hose over the end of the bleeder valve, then repeat steps 13-14.
19. With the left rear wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve tightened securely, after all air has been purged from the left rear hydraulic circuit, install a
proper box-end wrench onto the RIGHT FRONT wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve
20. Install a transparent hose over the end of the bleeder valve, then repeat steps 13-14.
21. After completing the final wheel hydraulic circuit bleeding procedure, ensure that each of the 4 wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valves are properly
tightened.
22. Close the J 29532, or equivalent, fluid tank valve, then disconnect the J 29532, or equivalent, from the J-35798.
23. Remove the J-35798 from the brake master cylinder reservoir.
24. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to the maximum-fill level GM approved, or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid
container.
25. Slowly depress and release the brake pedal. Observe the feel of the brake pedal.
Important: If it is determined that air was induced into the system upstream of the ABS modulator prior to servicing, the Antilock Brake
System Automated Bleed Procedure must be performed.
26. If the brake pedal feels spongy, perform the following steps:
1. Inspect the brake system for external leaks.
2. If equipped with antilock brakes, using a scan tool, perform the antilock brake system automated bleeding procedure to remove any air that
may have been trapped in the BPMV.
27. Turn the ignition key ON, with the engine OFF. Check to see if the brake system warning lamp remains illuminated.
Important: DO NOT allow the vehicle to be driven until it is diagnosed and repaired.
28. If the brake system warning lamp remains illuminated, refer to Symptoms - Hydraulic Brakes. See: Hydraulic System/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Hydraulic Brakes
