Procedure

NOTICE: Prior to bleeding the brakes, the front and rear displacement cylinder pistons must be returned to the topmost position. The preferred method uses a Scan Tool to perform the rehoming procedure. If a Scan Tool is not available, the second procedure may be used, but it is extremely important that the procedure be followed exactly as outlined.

IMPORTANT: Bleed the ENTIRE brake system if air has entered the hydraulic brake system through either of the following conditions:





- The master cylinder brake fluid level is at the bottom of the master cylinder reservoir.
- Any part of the hydraulic brake system is opened between the master cylinder and any of the brake caliper flexible hoses.

NOTICE: This method can only be used if the amber ABS warning indicator is not illuminated and no DTCs are present.
