Bleeding Brake System
CAUTION:
- While bleeding, pay attention to the brake fluid level.
- Do not allow the master cylinder reservoir tank to empty as this may cause damage to the master cylinder internal components.
- Before working, disconnect the harness connector from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the negative battery terminal. Refer to Battery Disconnect .
- Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the harness connector from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the negative battery terminal. Refer to Battery Disconnect .
- Connect a vinyl tube to the front (RH) brake caliper bleeder valve.
- Fully depress the brake pedal 4 or 5 times.
- With the brake pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder valve to bleed air in the brake line, and then tighten it immediately.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
- Tighten the bleeder valve to the specified torque. Refer to Exploded View (front disc brake) or to Exploded View (rear disc brake).
- Repeat steps 2 through 6, with the master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least halfway. Bleed the air in the following order: front (RH) -> front (LH) -> rear (RH) -> rear (LH).
