Without Anti-Lock Brake (ALB) Checker

WARNING: Hydraulic brake fluid in the modulator, accumulator and power unit is under high pressure (1,721 - 3,271 psi). A face shield should be worn when opening the system to prevent brake fluid from being sprayed into the eyes and face. Vehicle painted surfaces should be covered, to prevent damage by brake fluid contact. Place rags around connections when loosening to prevent fluid from spraying.

DRAINING MODULATOR, ACCUMULATOR AND POWER UNIT FLUID
1. Park car on level ground and block wheels. Thoroughly drain brake fluid from the master cylinder and modulator reservoirs.

Maintenance Bleeder:

2. Remove the red cap on the bleeder screw on top of the power unit.
3. Install the ALB T-wrench on the bleeder screw. DO NOT attempt to open bleeder screw without ALB T-wrench.

4. Slowly turn the bleeder screw 1/4 turn to release high pressure fluid.
5. Turn bleeder screw out one complete turn to drain completely.
6. Retighten bleeder screw and discard fluid.


REFILLING FLUID AND BLEEDING AIR FROM SYSTEM

Bleeding Sequence:

When bleeding the hydraulic brake system, procedures are the same as in non-ABS cars. Start with brake master cylinder and proceed to the LF wheel cylinder, RR wheel cylinder, RF wheel cylinder and LR wheel cylinder. The only special procedures required are for the modulator, accumulator and power unit.

Modulator Reservoir Levels:

1. Fill the modulator reservoir and master cylinder reservoir to the MAX level with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid from a clean sealed container.
3. Install the ALB T-wrench on the bleeder screw. DO NOT attempt to open bleeder screw without ALB T-wrench.
3. Turn bleeder screw out one complete turn.
4. With the transmission in neutral (M/T) or park (A/T), turn the ignition key "ON" and release parking brake.
5. Verify that the power unit motor runs.
6. When fluid coming out of the bleeder nipple is free of bubbles turn the ignition "OFF".
7. Retighten bleeder screw and discard fluid.
8. Reinstall red cap on bleeder screw.
9. Turn ignition "ON" and verify the fluid coming up into the modulator reservoir is free of bubbles. If not repeat steps 6 - 9 as needed.
10 Refill reservoir and replace cap.
