Brake System Bleeding
NOTE:
• Do not reuse the drained fluid.
• Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using
a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and
decrease the life of the system.
• Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed
to contaminate the brake fluid.
• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage
the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it
off immediately with water.
• The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the
MAX (upper) level mark at the start of the bleeding
procedure and checked after bleeding each brake
caliper. Add fluid as required.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at
the MAX (upper) level line (A).
2. Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal
several times, then apply steady pressure.
3. Loosen the left-front brake bleed screw to allow air
to escape from the system. Then tighten the bleed
screw securely.
4. Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the
sequence shown below until air bubbles no longer
appear in the fluid.
5. Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX
(upper) level line.
