Brake System Bleed
The base brake system must be bled anytime air is permitted to enter the hydraulic system. However, anti-lock brake system components should only be bled if the hydraulic control unit has been removed or if there is reason to believe that air has entered the unit. The ABS portion of the braking system must be bled separately. Under most circumstances, only the base brake system will require bleeding. If the anti-lock brake system must be bled, proceed as follows:
- Ensure all brake system components are installed and all hydraulic lines are connected securely.
