of brake fluid is not maintained before brake pedal
bottoms, close bleed screw and repeat steps 8 and 9
until an air free flow is maintained.(11) After an air-free flow of brake fluid is main-
tained from the primary accumulator bleed screw, close
and lightly tighten bleed screw. Then release pressure
from brake pedal. Do not release force from brake
pedal prior to closing and tightening bleed
screw. Note: For the next modulator assembly bleed-
ing procedure, use of the DRB is not required.
This step of the bleed procedure does not require
modulator solenoids to be operated for bleeding
to be performed. (12) Pump brake pedal several times, then apply
and hold a constant medium to heavy force on the
brake pedal. (13) Again without firing modulator solenoids, open
primary accumulator circuit bleed screw (Fig. 4) 1 full
turn. This will ensure an adequate flow of brake fluid
from the primary accumulator circuit. (14) Bleed primary accumulator circuit until a clear,
air-free flow of brake fluid is maintained from the
accumulator bleed screw or the brake pedal bottoms. If
an air-free flow of brake fluid is not maintained from
the bleed screw before the brake pedal bottoms. First,
close bleed screw and then repeat steps 11 and 12 of
this bleeding procedure until an air-free flow is main-
tained. (15) After an air-free flow of brake fluid is main-
tained from the primary accumulator circuit bleed
screw, close and lightly tighten bleed screw. Then re- lease force from brake pedal.
Do not release force
from brake pedal prior to closing and tightening
bleeder screw. (16) After primary accumulator bleed screw is
closed, remove bleed hose from bleed screw. (17) Torque secondary accumulator bleed screw to 9
N Im (80 in. lbs.).
5 MODULATOR ASSEMBLY SECONDARY SUMP CIRCUIT (1) Transfer clear bleed tube to secondary sump
bleed screw on modulator assembly (Fig. 5). Then
install bleed tube into a container partially filled with
fresh clean brake fluid (Fig. 5).
(2) Pump brake pedal several times, then apply and
hold a constant medium to heavy force on brake pedal. (3) Open the secondary sump circuit bleed screw
(Fig. 5) at least 1 full turn. This will ensure an
adequate flow of brake fluid is expelled from the
secondary sump circuit. (4) Using the DRB, select the bleed ABS hydraulic
unit mode. Then select the secondary circuit valves.
(The LF and RR solenoids will alternately fire for five
seconds). Continue bleeding secondary sump circuit
until an air-free flow of brake fluid from secondary
sump bleed screw is maintained or brake pedal bot-
toms. If an air-free flow of brake fluid is not maintained
before brake pedal bottoms, close bleed screw and
repeat steps 2 through 4 until an air-free flow is
maintained. (5) After an air-free flow of brake fluid is maintained
from secondary sump bleed screw, close and lightly
tighten bleed screw. Then release force from

brake pedal. Do not release brake pedal prior to
closing and tightening bleeder screw. (6) After secondary sump bleed screw is closed, re-
move bleed hose from bleed screw. (7) Torque secondary sump bleed screw to 9 N Im (80
in. lbs.).
6 MODULATOR ASSEMBLY SECONDARY ACCUMULATOR
CIRCUIT
(8) Transfer bleed tube to secondary accumulator
bleed screw (Fig. 6). Then install bleed tube into a
container partially filled with fresh clean brake fluid
(Fig. 6).
(9) Apply constant, medium to heavy force on brake
pedal. Then using the DRB, select the bleed ABS
hydraulic unit mode, and then select the secondary
circuit valves. (The LF and RR modulator assembly
solenoids will fire for 5 seconds). (10) Open the secondary accumulator circuit bleed
screw (Fig. 6) at least one full turn. This will ensure an
adequate flow of brake fluid is expelled from the
secondary accumulator circuit. Continue to bleed pri- mary accumulator circuit, until an air-free flow of
brake fluid from the bleed screw is maintained or brake
pedal bottoms. If an air-free flow of brake fluid is not
maintained from bleed screw before brake pedal bot-
toms, close bleed screw and then repeat steps 8 and 9
until an air free flow is maintained. (11) After an air-free flow of brake fluid is main-
tained from the bleed screw, close and lightly tighten
the bleed screw. Then release force from brake pedal.
Do not release force from brake pedal prior to
closing and tightening bleeder screw. Note: For the next modulator assembly bleed-
ing procedure, use of the DRB is not required.
This step of the bleeding procedure does not
require the modulator solenoids to be operated
for bleeding to be performed. (12) Pump brake pedal several times, then apply
and hold constant medium to heavy force on brake
pedal. (13) Again without firing modulator assembly sole-
noids, open secondary accumulator circuit bleed screw
(Fig. 6) at least 1 full turn. This will ensure an
adequate flow of brake fluid is expelled from the
secondary accumulator circuit. (14) Bleed secondary accumulator circuit until a
clear, air-free flow of brake fluid is maintained from the
secondary accumulator bleed screw or the brake pedal
bottoms. If an air- free flow of brake fluid is not
maintained from secondary accumulator bleed screw
before brake pedal bottoms, repeat steps 12 and 13 of
this bleeding procedure until an air-free flow is main-
tained. (15) After an air free flow of brake fluid is main-
tained from secondary accumulator circuit bleed screw,
close and lightly tighten bleed screw. Then release
force from brake pedal. Do not release force from
brake pedal prior to closing and tightening bleed
screw. (16) After secondary accumulator bleed screw is
closed, remove bleed hose from bleed screw. (17) Torque secondary accumulator bleed screw to 9
N Im (80 in. lbs.).
