This procedure details how to
bleed the ABS pump when replacing brake fluid. This procedure is NOT
necessary unless your ABS pump has gone completely dry. For normal brake
work including fluid replacement, hose replacement, pad replacement, etc.
this procedure is NOT necessary. Also, this procedure does not take the
place of good ol' fashioned brake bleeding with one person operating the
pedal while the other person opens the bleeder valves one by one and
collects the discharged fluid.
There are certain test conditions
that must be met before doing this procedure:
