ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)





Standard flow of diagnostic troubleshooting





Notes with regard to diagnosis
The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.






ABS Check sheet





Problem symptoms table






CAUTION:
During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.

Bleeding of Brake System
This procedure should be followed to ensure adequate bleeding of air and filling of the ABS unit, brake lines and master cylinder with brake fluid.
1. Remove the reservoir cap and fill the brake reservoir with brake fluid.

CAUTION:
If there is any brake fluid on any painted surface, wash it off immediately.

NOTE:
When pressure bleeding, do not depress the brake pedal.
Recommended fluid. DOT3 or DOT4

2. Connect a clear plastic tube to the wheel cylinder bleeder plug and insert the other end of the tube into a half filled clear plastic bottle.
3. Connect the GDS to the data link connector located underneath the dash panel.
4. Select and operate according to the instructions on the GDS screen.

CAUTION:
You must obey the maximum operating time of the ABS motor with the GDS to prevent the motor pump from burning.

(1) Select vehicle name.
(2) Select Anti-Lock Brake system.
(3) Select HCU air bleeding mode.




(4) Press "OK" to operate motor pump and solenoid valve.




(5) Wait 60 sec. before operating the air bleeding. (If not, you may damage the motor.)




(6) Perform the air bleeding.




5. Pump the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder screw until fluid starts to run out without bubbles. Then close the bleeder screw(A).

Rear




6. Repeat step 5 until there are no more bubbles in the fluid for each wheel.




7. Tighten the bleeder screw.
