BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE
SYSTEM (ABS)
WARNING
EWA13100
Always bleed the brake system when the
brake related parts are removed.
NOTICE
ECA18050
• Bleed the brake system in the following or-
der.
• 1st step: Front brake calipers
• 2nd step: Rear brake caliper
WARNING
EWA15740
Bleed the ABS whenever:
• the system is disassembled.
• a brake hose is loosened, disconnected or
replaced.
• the brake fluid level is very low.
• brake operation is faulty.
TIP
• Be careful not to spill any brake fluid or allow
the brake master cylinder reservoir or brake
fluid reservoir to overflow.
• When bleeding the hydraulic brake system,
make sure there is always enough brake fluid
before applying the brake. Ignoring this pre-
caution could allow air to enter the hydraulic
brake system, considerably lengthening the
bleeding procedure.
• If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to let
the brake fluid settle for a few hours. Repeat
the bleeding procedure when the tiny bubbles
in the hose have disappeared.
1. Bleed:
• ABS
a. Fill the brake fluid reservoir to the proper
level with the specified brake fluid.
b. Install the diaphragm (brake master cylin-
der reservoir or brake fluid reservoir).
c. Connect a clear plastic hose “1” tightly to
the bleed screw “2”.
Direction “a”
Brake light comes on sooner.
Direction “b”
Brake light comes on later.

B. Rear
