Standard Procedure - Base Brake Bleeding: Notes
For bleeding the ABS hydraulic system, refer to Antilock Brake System Bleeding in ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) - ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS - 500 - ELECTRIC .
Before removing the master cylinder cap, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from dropping into the master cylinder reservoir.
Use only Mopar® brake fluid or an equivalent from a fresh, tightly sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3 specifications.
For bleeding of the Antilock Brake System, refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
Do not pump the brake pedal at any time while having a bleeder screw open during the bleeding process. This will only increase the amount of air in the system and make additional bleeding necessary.
Do not allow the brake fluid reservoir to run out of brake fluid while bleeding the system. An empty reservoir will allow additional air into the brake system. Check the fluid level frequently and add fluid as needed.
The following wheel circuit sequence for bleeding the brake hydraulic system should be used to ensure adequate removal of all trapped air from the hydraulic system.
