General Bleeding

Bleeding System


Note: Prior to bleeding the brakes, the following procedure must be followed to ensure the front and rear displacement cylinder pistons are returned to the top most position.

Start engine and allow it to run for at least 10 seconds (with foot off brake), this will cause the ABS to initialize itself. Make sure the ABS indicator lamp is "OFF" after about 3 seconds. If the lamp remains "ON," a Tech 1 must be used to diagnose the illumination of the indicator lamp.

If lamp goes "OFF" and stays "OFF," repeat this procedure one more time. Using Tech 1 or T-100, enter the "Manual Control" function and "Apply" the front and rear motors. The entire brake system should now be bled following either "Pressure Bleeding" or "Manual Bleeding".


Note: Use only DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. Do not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water. Do not use DOT 5 brake fluid.
