- Turn the ignition to OFF, without pausing at ACCESSORY, and remove the ignition key.
- Wait approximately 1 to 3 minutes until the brake modulator and HPA pressure relief is complete.
- Remove the brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir until the level is below the reservoir supply hose fitting and discard into an approved container.
- Disconnect the brake master cylinder reservoir supply hose quick connect (1).
- Disconnect the brake master cylinder reservoir return hose quick connect (2).
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
- Clean all dirt and debris from the brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV) assembly and the brake hose fittings.
- Disconnect the BPMV supply hose quick connect (1).
Cap the BPMV inlet port and plug the supply hose to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination.
- Disconnect the BPMV return hose quick connect (2).
Cap the BPMV outlet port and plug the return hose to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination.
- Release the supply and return hoses from the retainers and remove the hoses from the vehicle.
NOTE:
The ignition must be in the OFF position, without pausing at ACCESSORY, and without applying the brake pedal to ensure the brake modulator and high pressure accumulator (HPA) pressure relief occurs. This process will take approximately 1 to 3 minutes.
NOTE:
During the pressure relief process, the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir will rise. Do not remove the master cylinder reservoir cap during the pressure relief process.
