Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair

BLEEDING OF BRAKE SYSTEM

This procedure should be followed to ensure adequate bleeding of air and filling of the ABS unit, brake lines and master cylinder with brake fluid.
1. Remove the reservoir cap and fill the brake reservoir with brake fluid.

CAUTION
If there is any brake fluid on any painted surface, wash it off immediately.

NOTE
When pressure bleeding, do not depress the brake pedal.
Recommended fluid....  DOT3 or DOT4

2. Connect a clear plastic tube to the brake caliper bleeder plug and insert the other end of the tube into a half filled clear plastic bottle.
3. Connect the scan tool to the data fink connector located underneath the dash panel.

4. Select and operate according to the instructions on the scan tool screen.

CAUTION
You must obey the maximum operating time of the ABS motor with the scan tool to prevent the motor pump from burning.
