Bleeding Abs Hydraulic Control Unit
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda Tribute, 2003 Mazda Tribute, and 2002 Mazda Tribute. 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.
- 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. Connect the WDS (factory scan tool) or equivalent aftermarket scan tool.
- Access the SYSTEM BLEED FUNCTION. Go to the Tool Tab-Chassis-Braking-ABS Service Bleed and follow the directions on the diagnostic scan tool.
- Manually bleed the brake hydraulic system. Repeat the procedure carrying out a total of two diagnostic tool cycles and two manual bleed cycles.
