19. Air Bleeding (With TCS model)
A: RULES FOR EFFECTIVE BLEEDING
1) Pressure is not applied to suction pipe by depressing
brake pedal. When any of the following are performed,
bleed air from suction pipe by air bleeding control opera-
tion.
NOTE:
For TCS vehicle, suction pipe is installed between master
cylinder and hydraulic unit to allow flow of brake fluid
between them during ABS and TCS operation.
(1) When brake pipe is disconnected from master cyl-
inder.
(2) When brake pipe between hydraulic unit and mas-
ter cylinder is disconnected.
(3) When fluid is emptied from reservoir tank.
2) The time interval between two brake pedal operations
(from the time when the pedal is released to the time when
it is depressed another time) shall be approximately 3 sec-
onds.
3) The air bleeder on each brake shall be released for 1
to 2 seconds.
B: BLEEDING PROCEDURE WITH AIR
BLEEDING CONTROL
1. BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION:

The FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid
must be used.

Cover bleeder with waste cloth, when loosening it,
to prevent brake fluid from being splashed over sur-
rounding parts.

Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid to pre-
vent degrading the quality of the fluid.

Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the
reservoir tank.

During bleeding operation, keep the brake reserve
tank filled with brake fluid to eliminate entry of air.
NOTE:

Brake pedal operating must be very slow.

For convenience and safety, it is advisable to have two
man working.
G4M0434
1) Start air bleeding control operation. [W19C0] or 4-4 [W19D0].>
2) Make sure that there is no leak from joints and connec-
tions of the brake system.
3) Bleed air through front RH caliper by operating brake
pedal.
(1) Fit one end of vinyl tube into the air bleeder and put
the other end into a brake fluid container.

(2) Slowly depress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed. Then, open the air bleeder to discharge air
together with the fluid.
Release air bleeder for 1 to 2 seconds.
Next, with the bleeder closed, slowly release the brake
pedal.
Repeat these steps until there are no more air bubbles
in the vinyl tube.
Allow 3 to 4 seconds between two brake pedal opera-
tions.
CAUTION:
Cover bleeder with waste cloth, when loosening it, to
prevent brake fluid from being splashed over sur-
rounding parts.
NOTE:
Brake pedal operating must be very slow.
4) Bleed air from suction pipe through front RH caliper.
(1) Open the air bleeder.
(2) Keep pressing TCS OFF switch for 20 seconds or
more.
NOTE:
Ensure no air comes out from air bleeder.
(3) Close the air bleeder.
5) Bleed air through front LH caliper by operating brake
pedal. This is the same procedure as step 3).
6) Bleed air from suction pipe through front LH caliper.
This is the same procedure as step 4).
7) Bleed air through front RH and LH calipers by operat-
ing brake pedal. This is the same procedure as step 3).
Repeat steps 3) to 7) until air does no longer comes out.
8) Tighten air bleeders securely when bubbles are visible.
Air bleeder tightening torque:
8±1 N⋅m (0.8±0.1 kg-m, 5.8±0.7 ft-lb)
9) Bleed air through rear LH and RH caliper by operating
brake pedal. This is the same procedure as step 3).
10) Tighten air bleeders securely when bubbles are vis-
ible.

11) Operate FRO (Front Right Outlet) valve and RLO
(Rear Left Outlet) valve to bleed air from hydraulic unit
outlet circuit.
(1) Press TCS OFF switch while depressing brake
pedal.
(2) Make sure ABS warning light illuminates.
(3) Repeatedly depress and release brake pedal 10
times or more while pressing TCS OFF switch.
NOTE:

Air comes out from reservoir tank.
12) Operate FLO (Front Left Outlet) valve and RRO (Rear
Right Outlet) valve to bleed air from hydraulic unit outlet
circuit.
(1) Press TCS OFF switch while depressing brake
pedal.
(2) Make sure TCS warning light illuminates.
(3) Repeatedly depress and release brake pedal 10
times or more while pressing TCS OFF switch.
NOTE:

Air comes out from reservoir tank.

The operations in steps 11) and 12) above can be
switched with each other by operating brake pedal (stop
light switch) while pressing TCS OFF switch.

Repeat procedures 11) and 12) until air no longer comes
out of reservoir tank.
13) Perform these steps for the brakes connecting to the
secondary chamber of master cylinder, first, and then for
the ones connecting to primary chamber. With all proce-
dures completed, fully depress the brake pedal and keep
it in that position for approximately 20 seconds to make
sure that there is no leak evident in the entire system.
14) Turn ignition switch OFF.
15) Perform TCS sequence control. [W20F0].>

3. CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF AIR
BLEEDING CONTROL
When any of the following conditions occurs, ABS and TCS
warning lights illuminate. Air bleeding control stops, while
the ABS and TCS function will then stop. The brake sys-
tem functions as a conventional brake system.
1) When the speed of at least one wheel reaches 10 km/h
(6 MPH).
2) When terminal No. 4 is separated from diagnosis termi-
nal. (When select monitor is not used.)
3) When pump motor remains ON for two minutes.
4) When TCS valve remains open for two minutes.
5) When outlet valve remains closed for two minutes.
6) When malfunction is detected.
