With ABS



NOTE There is no special bleeding procedure for the ABS SYSTEM. For bleeding, please use the standard rules as described for the conventional brake system as follows.





1. Remove the reservoir cap and fill the brake reservoir with brake fluid.

CAUTION: Do not allow brake fluid to remain on a painted surface. Wash it off immediately.

NOTE When bleeding by pressurized fluid, do not depress the brake pedal.





2. Connect the vinyl tube to the wheel cylinder bleeder screw, and insert the other end of tube in a half-full container of brake fluid.
3. Slowly pump the brake pedal several times.
4. While depressing the brake pedal fully, loosen the bleeder screw until fluid starts to run out. Then close the bleeder screw.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no more bubbles in the fluid.
6. Tighten the bleeder plug screw.
Bleed screw:
Front: 7 - 13 Nm (5 - 10 ft. lbs.)
Rear: 8 - 20 Nm (6 - 15 ft. lbs.)






7. Repeat the above procedure for each wheel in the sequence shown in the illustration.
