With ABS

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) hydraulic control unit is supplied filled with brake fluid. Therefore, a conventional bleed procedure should be adequate to remove all air from the brake system. However, if a spongy pedal is present and air in hydraulic control unit is suspected, use the following procedure:

1. Connect Rotunda New Generation Star (NGS) Tester 007-00500 or equivalent to the serial data link connector below instrument panel as though retrieving codes.
2. Make sure ignition switch is in the RUN position.
3. Follow instructions on the NGS screen. Choose correct vehicle and model year, go to "DIAGNOSTIC DATA LINK" menu item, choose "ABS MODULE", choose "FUNCTION TESTS", and choose "SERVICE BLEED".
4. RF Caliper Bleed

a. Open RF caliper bleed screw and pump brake pedal in two-three second intervals.
b. When fluid flows clear, begin program and continue to pump brake pedal.
c. Continue bleed for one-two minutes after program ends and then tighten bleed screw.

5. LF Caliper Bleed

a. Open LF caliper bleed screw and pump brake pedal in two-three second intervals.
b. When fluid flows clear, begin program and continue to pump brake pedal.
c. Continue bleed for one-two minutes after program ends and then tighten bleed screw.

6. LR Caliper Bleed

a. Open LR caliper bleed screw and pump brake pedal in two-three second intervals.
b. When fluid flows clear, begin program and continue to pump brake pedal.
c. Continue bleed for one-two minutes after program ends and then tighten bleed screw.

7. RR Caliper Bleed

a. Open RR caliper bleed screw and pump brake pedal in two-three second intervals.
b. When fluid flows clear, begin program and continue to pump brake pedal.
c. Continue bleed for one-two minutes after program ends and then tighten bleed screw.

8. Remove pressure bleeding device and adjust level of brake fluid in reservoir.
