Anti-Lock Brakes Bleed

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Escape, 2003 Ford Escape, and 2002 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Bleeding the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) is required only when removing or installing the HCU or master cylinder, or opening the lines to the HCU.
    NOTE: Carrying out the System Bleed function drives trapped air from the HCU. Subsequent bleeding removes the air from the brake hydraulic system through the bleeder screws.
    NOTE: Adequate voltage to the HCU module is required during the anti-lock control portion of the system bleed.
  1. Connect the diagnostic scan tool Data Communication Link (DCL) to the data link connector located in the passenger compartment. It is attached to the instrument panel and accessible from the driver's seat.
  2. Access the SYSTEM BLEED FUNCTION on the scan tool. Go to TOOL TAB-CHASSIS-BRAKING-ABS SERVICE BLEED and follow the directions on the scan tool.
  3. Manually bleed the brake hydraulic system. See MANUAL BLEEDING  .
  4. Repeat the procedure carrying out a total of two diagnostic tool cycles and two manual bleed cycles.
