Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Hydraulic Control Unit Bleeding

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: This procedure is only required when a new hydraulic control unit is installed.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or new installation, air may get into the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be gravity bled, manually bled, or bled with pressure bleeding equipment.
  1. Connect the diagnostic tool and follow the ABS system bleed instructions.
  2. Use the gravity bleed or manual bleed procedure(s) to bleed the system. Begin at the RH rear caliper.
