      Install the hole pin while pushing on the front disc brake anti-rattle spring.

    5. Install the pin hold clip.

  5. BLEED BRAKE LINE

    CAUTION:

    If the brake fluid is replaced without using the GTS, the procedure will be incomplete which could lead to problems or accidents. Always use the GTS when performing fluid replacement.


    1. Bleed air from the brake lines.


      1. A01FSJ7

        Remove the 2 ABS motor relays.

        Tech Tips

        If the ABS relays are already removed, this procedure is unnecessary.

      2. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.

      3. Add brake fluid so that the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX lines of the brake fluid reservoir.

        Brake fluid
        SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

      4. With the power switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      5. Turn the power switch on (IG), turn the GTS on, and enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

      6. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal to bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.

        Note

        Add fluid so that the fluid level does not drop below the MIN line on the brake fluid reservoir.

      7. After bleeding the air, depress and hold the brake pedal, and tighten the bleeder plug.

        Torque:
        11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

      8. In the same way as the RH side, bleed air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder LH.

      9. Follow the GTS screen, to end ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

      10. Install the 2 ABS motor relays with the power switch off.

      11. Turn the power switch on (IG), turn the GTS on, and enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

      12. While depressing the brake pedal, loosen the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder LH. While the pump motor and solenoid are operating, bleed the air.

        Note

        Add fluid so that the fluid level does not drop below the MIN line on the brake fluid reservoir.

      13. After bleeding the air, tighten the bleeder plug and release the brake pedal.

        Torque:
        8.3 N*m  { 85 kgf*cm, 73 in.*lbf }

      14. In the same way as the LH side, bleed air from the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH.
