ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
ABS Bleeding
WARNING
When bleeding the brake system, wear safety glasses. If brake fluid gets on your eyes or skin, wash off
with water completely.
DO NOT drop brake fluid onto the body paint, as brake fluid can corrode the body paint.
CAUTION
Brake fluid should meet the Chery specified type (DOT 4). DO NOT mix the brake fluid with other types
of brake fluid.
Brake fluid has strong water absorbability, be sure to place it in the original sealed container.
To prevent dust and other foreign matter from entering the reservoir, wipe it off before removing the
reservoir cap.
The bleeding procedures for brake system with X-431 3G diagnostic tester are as follows:
1. Make sure all brake lines are installed and tightened properly.
2. Check that battery voltage is normal.
3. Turn ignition switch to LOCK.
4. Connect X-431 3G diagnostic tester (the latest software) to Data Link Connector (DLC).
5. Turn ignition switch ON.
6. Using X-431 diagnostic tester, record and clear the DTCs stored in ABS control module assembly.
7. Using X-431 3G diagnostic tester, enter Brake Control System, select Repair Bleed Function, and then
perform operation according to the information and procedures displayed on the diagnostic tester.
HINT:
If the bleeder plug is open, never depress the brake pedal repeatedly. Doing so will increase the
amount of air in the system.
Do not drain brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir while bleeding the system. Otherwise, low fluid
level in the brake reservoir will cause additional air to enter the brake system.
Always check the brake fluid level at all times to ensure that brake fluid level in the brake reservoir is
always close to the "MAX" level.
8. For X type brake circuit, the bleeding order is: rear left wheel, front left wheel, front right wheel, rear right
wheel.
9. After bleeding is completed, fill the brake reservoir with brake fluid to the "MAX" level .
10.Drive the vehicle to perform a road test, and confirm that the ABS system operates normally and brake
pedal feel is good.
