Bleeding
CAUTION:
. Oo not reuse the drsined fluid,
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using
a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and
decrease the lile of the system,
a Make sure no dirt or other foreign matt€t is allowed
to contaminate the brske fluid.
. Do not spill brake fluid on tho car, it may damage the
pain; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off
immediately with water.
NOTE: The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at
the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of bleeding pro-
cedure, and checked after bleeding each brake caliper.
Add fluid as required.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at
the MAX (upper) level line.

Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal sever-al times, then apply steady pressure.
Loosen the brake bleed screw to allow air to escapefrom the system. Then tighten the bleed screw se-curely.
Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequenceshown below, until atr bubbles no longer appear inthe fluid.
Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX(upperl level line,

Troubleshooting Precautions
Kickback
L The motor operates when the ABS is functioning, and the fluid in the reservoir is forced out to the master cylinder,
causing kickback at the brake pedal.
Pump Motol
1. The pump motor operates when the ABS is functioning.
2. The ABS control unit checks the pump motor operation during initial diagnosis and when the vehicle is started. You
mav hear the motor operate at this time, but it is normal
Brake Fluid Replacement/Air Bleeding'1. Brake fluid replacement and air bleeding procedures are the same as vehicles without ABS. To ease bleeding, start
with the front wheels.
Troubleshooting
1. The troubleshooting flowcharts procedures assume that the cause of the problem is still present and the ABS indica-
tor is still on. Following the flowchart when the ABS indicator does not come on can result in incorrect diagnosis.
2. Ouestion the customer about the conditions when the problem occurred, and try to reproduce the same conditions
for troubleshooting.
Find out when the ABS indjcator came on. such as during initial diagnosis. during ABS control, after ABS control,
when vehicle speed was at a certain speed, etc.
3, When the ABS indicator does not come on during the test-drive, but troubleshooting is performed based on the DTC,
check for loose connectors, poor contact at the terminals, etc. before you start troubleshooting'
4. After troubleshooting, erase the DTC and test-drive the vehicle. Be sure the ABS indicator does not come on.
5. The connector illustrations show the female terminals with a single outline and the male terminals with a double outline.
