6 Remove bleed screw from brake caliper (2) on brake circuit to be checked and connect pressure tester (3)    
REFER TO SPECIAL TOOLS 000 588 07 21 00 Test equipment NOTES Pressure testers (3) for hydraulic fluid systems must not be used for systems with brake fluid. Otherwise, the brake fluid will be mixed with mineral oil. This results in brake failure.
IMPORTANT Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions in order to avoid measurement errors.
WS42.00-P-0014B
7 Bleed pressure tester (3) IMPORTANT Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions in order to avoid measurement errors.  
8 Switch off filling and bleeding unit and vent pressure from brake fluid reservoir    
  High-pressure test     
WARNING Risk of accident  from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. Risk of injury  (bruises and burns) resulting from working on the engine while it is being started or when it is running. Secure vehicle to prevent it from starting off by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts. AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
9 Allow the engine to run at moderate speed and release the accelerator pedal suddenly IMPORTANT In order to produce as high a vacuum as possible in the brake booster.  
10 Immediately press down brake pedal (5) as far as possible and insert brake pedal jack (4) with adapter (6) between brake pedal (5) and driver seat NOTES Only use the brake pedal jack (4) in combination with the adapter (6) and attach as shown.
Otherwise damage and measurement error can occur.
NOTES Cover contact area of brake pedal (5) and driver's seat.
Otherwise, the brake pedal (5) or the driver's seat may be damaged.

11 Read off and note brake pressure on high-pressure gauge of pressure tester (3)    
12 Read off and note brake pressure again after 5 minutes on the high-pressure gauge of pressure tester (3) IMPORTANT During the 5 min. duration of the test, the brake pressure may not drop more than 5 %.  
13 Switch off engine and remove brake pedal jack (4) with adapter (6)    
14 Press brake pedal (5) several times IMPORTANT To reduce the pressure.  
  Low-pressure test     
15 Immediately press down brake pedal (5) as far as possible and insert brake pedal jack (4) with adapter (6) between brake pedal (5) and driver seat again NOTES Only use the brake pedal jack (4) in combination with the adapter (6) and attach as shown.
Otherwise damage and measurement error can occur.
 
16 Slowly turn back knob (1) until the low-pressure gauge on the pressure tester (3) displays a brake line pressure of 3 bar.    
17 Read off brake line pressure again 2 min waiting time.
IMPORTANT The previously set brake line pressure must not fall throughout the 2 min. duration of the test.
 
  Concluding tasks     
18 Remove brake pedal jack (4) and adapter (6)    
19 Detach pressure tester (3) and screw bleed screw into brake caliper (2) TORQUE SPECIFICATION Bleed screw at brake caliper *BA42.10-P-1001-10L 
    TORQUE SPECIFICATION Bleed screw to brake caliper *BA42.10-P-1001-12L 
20 Bleed brake system Only bleed the brake caliper (2) to which the pressure tester (3) was connected.
