AIR BLEEDING FROM BRAKE SYSTEM

The vehicle equipped only with ABS can use the conventional air bleeding procedures, however, the vehicle equipped
with ESP should use the oil supply device with compressor to bleed the air.

Air bleeding should be done when:

1. Removal and installation of the brake master cylinder
2. Removal and installation of the ABS HECU
3. Removal and installation of the brake oil pipes and hoses
4. Replacing the brake fluid

Air bleeding procedures

1. Apply the parking brake and start the engine when the shift lever is at "P" position.
2. Connect the oil supply device (air bleeding device) with air compressor to brake reservoir. The oil supply device
should be filled with sufficient oil.
3. Loosen the air bleed screw in caliper and place an empty container under the screw.
4. Bleed the air in each wheel by using diagnostic device (Scanner). At this time, the modulator motor runs for 180
seconds.
5. Simultaneously, run the oil supply device to supply oil and depress the brake pedal repeatedly.
This procedure needs at least 3 persons for doing below jobs:
1) Collect the bleeding oil into the container.
2) Depress the brake pedal repeatedly.
3) Check the conditions of oil supply device.
6. Repeat the step 4 through 5 until clear brake fluid comes out of air bleed screw.
7. Perform the same procedures at each wheel.
Notice
Replace the brake oil at every 2 years.
Notice
• Always bleed the air after replacing the brake fluid or master cylinder, caliper, brake hose and pipe.
• Never reuse the used brake fluid.
• Do not pump the brake pedal too fast. It may cause some troubles for air bleeding operation.
• Be careful not to splash the brake fluid on painted area or body.
• Check the connection areas for leaks after air bleeding.
