Caution / Notice / Hint
WARNING:
The Techstream must be used for air bleeding. If not used, the air bleeding will be incomplete, which is hazardous and may lead to an accident.
NOTE:
- Perform air bleeding with the shift lever in P and the parking brake applied.
- As brake fluid may overflow when bleeding, do not stand the fluid can on the reservoir inlet.
- Perform air bleeding while maintaining the brake fluid level between the MIN and MAX lines on the brake fluid reservoir.
- Air bleeding will be difficult if the following occurs:
- The brake actuator hose (the hose between the brake booster pump assembly and brake fluid reservoir) is higher than the fluid level and air enters the hose.
- During the air bleeding procedure, air enters the brake booster pump while the pump motor is operating.
- While performing air bleeding, the accumulator pressure drop may cause a buzzer to sound. As there is no problem, continue with the operation.
- During air bleeding, DTCs for pressure sensor malfunctions, etc. may be stored. After air bleeding and if instructed in the procedures, clear the DTCs.
- Release the parking brake during the linear valve offset calibration procedure.
- Do not allow brake fluid to adhere to any painted surface such as the vehicle body. If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, immediately clean it off.
- When bleeding air, select the suitable work procedure according to the table below.
