Component Replacement
CAUTION
Hydraulic brake fluid is a caustic substance. Skin contact with hydraulic brake fluid can cause
irritation. Do not let hydraulic brake fluid touch any painted surfaces, as it will remove the paint.
Hydraulic brake fluid may also damage certain non-metal surfaces. Do not let brake fluid get on
brake pads, rotors, shoes, or drum.

Pressure Fill and Bleed Procedure
Pressure fill and bleed is the preferred method for bleeding the service brake system. It requires the use of
a special pressure bleeder kit, consisting of a tank, pressure pump and valve, gauge, tubing and adapter.
These kits are available from a number of manufacturers and include instructions for use.

5.2.3
Service Replacement Bleed Procedure
If a service replacement ABS module was purchased these units have been pre-filled from the factory and
can be bled using either the pressure or manual bleed procedure.
WARNING
Do not let the brake fluid in the master cylinder get below the minimum level during the bleeding
operation. Keep the master cylinder reservoir filled with new DOT-approved brake fluid, as specified
by the original equipment manufacturer. Failure to keep the fluid in the brake reservoir above the
minimum level could result in more air entering the system, making it difficult to effectively bleed the
system resulting in increased stopping distance.
CAUTION
Incorrect bleeding may result in system malfunction due to the presence of air in the closed hydraulic
system.
