Bleeding Procedure
CAUTION:
• Carefully monitorbrakefluidlevel atmaster cylinder during
bleeding operation.
• Ifmaster cylinder issuspected tohave airinside, bleedair
from master cylinder first.Refer to"Installation", "MASTER
CYLINDER", BR-12.
• Fill reservoir withnewbrake fluid"DOT 3"or"DOT
4".

Make sureitis full atall times whilebleeding airout of
system.
• Donot mix different typesofbrake fluids(DOT3,DOT 4).
• Place acontainer undermaster cylinder toavoid spillage of
brake fluid.
• For models withABS, turnignition switchOFFanddiscon-
nect ABS actuator connector orbattery cable.

• Bleed airinthe following order:

TROUBLE
DIAGNOSES
Self-diagnosis (ForEurope)
FUNCTION

• When aproblem occursinthe ABS, thewarning lamponthe
instrument panelcomes on.
• Amaximum ofthree malfunctions arestored inthe memory
of the ABS control unit.

Erase theself-diagnosis resultsstoredinthe control unitafter
malfunctions arerepaired (Seenextpage).

• The self-diagnosis resultsareidentified byCONSULT or
warning lamp.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Start engine.
Dr.ive vehicle over15km/h (9MPH) foratleast oneminute .
Stop vehicle withengine running.

Make surethaitheASS warning lampactivates.

SBR875CA
Verifythelocation ofthe malfunction withthemalfunction codechart.
Then make necessary repairsfollowing thediagnostic procedures.
After themalfunctions arerepaired, erasetheself-diagnostic results
stored inthe control unit.

Disconnect connectors forASS control unitorthe battery negative termi-
nal foratleast oneminute.

Check warning lampfordeactivation afterdriving vehicle over15km/h (9
MPH) foratleast oneminute.
Test theASS inasafe area toverify thatitfunctions properly.
