Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair

Brake Fluid: Bleeding Brake System

CAUTION:
^

Refill with new brake fluid.

^

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

^

Do not let brake fluid splash on the painted surfaces of the body. This might damage the paint, so when splashing it, immediately wipe off
the area and wash away with water.

^

Before servicing, disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or battery negative terminal.

While bleeding, monitor the master cylinder brake fluid level.

1) Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or battery negative terminal.
2) Connect a vinyl tube to the rear right bleed valve.
3) Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
4) With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no more air comes out.
6) Tighten bleed valve to the specified torque. Refer to [Front Brake Caliper: Exploded View [On-Vehicle Repair]] (front disc brake),  [Rear Brake

Caliper: Exploded View [On-Vehicle Repair]] (rear disc brake).

7) Perform steps 2 to 6 at each wheel, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air from the front left, rear left, and front right

bleed valve, in that order.
