BLEED BRAKE ACTUATOR
Note
After bleeding the air from the regular brake system, if the correct height or feel of the brake pedal cannot be obtained, perform air bleeding again by following the procedure below.
Bleeding air without the intelligent tester may lead to an injury or accident. When performing this procedure, always bleed air using the intelligent tester.
With the ignition switch off, depress the brake pedal several times to eliminate the vacuum pressure inside the booster.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 with the ignition switch off.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Note
Do not start the engine.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / Air Bleeding.
Perform the bleeding at the right front wheel and left rear wheel (Procedure 1).
Bleed the Decrease Line.
Select "Decrease Line" on the intelligent tester menu display.
Depress the brake pedal.
Using the intelligent tester, operate the solenoid and at the same time, completely depress the brake pedal within 5 seconds.
Tech Tips
After operating the solenoid, the motor in the actuator operates for 5 seconds and during this time the brake pedal is pushed out.
Loosen the bleeder plug at the right front wheel.
Note
Loosen the bleeder plug at only one place.
Completely depress the brake pedal.
Tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.

Repeat the brake line air bleeding procedure by depressing the brake pedal.
Note
Repeat the brake line air bleeding procedure at each wheel until the air is bled out.
