How To Bleed Brakes With A.B.S

Postby TOYWGN » Sun May 13, 2007 12:55 pm

Okies anyone know the proper procedure of bleeding brakes with a.b.s ? I know the old school way of doin it as in from the passengers rear then drivers rear then passengers front then drivers front. But not to sure if this is the correct way of doin it on the new school stuff.

Im wanting to do it on my caldina gtt auto if this helps anyone..

Also it has a bleed valve on top of the abs unit too do you need to also bleed that as well?

:D

Bleed it the way you would do any other car, the ABS makes no difference unless you're starting with a dry system with no fluid.

Depends on the car, you might have to bleed the ABS unit, some of the new toyota's need the IT Tester just to change the fluid, or do any thing for that matter :?

Best to check your service book, if you can, or just give a dealer a quick call 8)
