Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Manual Bleeding the Brakes
Manual Bleeding the Brakes
CAUTION: Manual bleeding of the hydraulic modulator is not possible. If air enters the antilock brake hydraulic modulator, or if an unfilled
modulator is installed, use the scan tool to bleed air out of the brake system. Replacement modulators are shipped already filled and bled. In normal
on-vehicle service procedures involving the modulator, such as the procedure to replace the electronic brake control module, air will not enter the
modulator. In such cases, use the bleeding procedure.
1. Remove the booster reserve by applying the brakes several times with the engine off, until all the reserve Is depleted.
CAUTION: If no air is suspected to be in the master cylinder, begin the bleeding procedure at Step 12. If it is suspected that air is in the master
cylinder bore, then the master cylinder must be bled, beginning with Step 2.
2. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid. Keep the master cylinder reservoir at least one-half full during the bleeding operation.
CAUTION: Keep brake fluid away from painted surfaces because brake fluid will damage the paint finish.
3. Disconnect the brake line at the top of the master cylinder.
4. Allow the brake fluid to fill the master cylinder until it begins to flow from the port.
5. Reconnect the brake line at the top of the master cylinder.
