To help maintain alignment of the spiral cable connector during reassembly, apply a small piece of tape to the spiral
cable and the steering column to keep them in alignment.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Set the front wheels to the straight-ahead position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Remove the driver airbag (See Driver Airbag Removal & Installation in Section 14 Restraints).

Brake Bleeding
Brake Bleeding Information
WARNING!
When bleeding the brake system, wear safety glasses. A clear bleed tube must be attached to the bleeder
screws and submerged in a clear container filled partially with clean brake fluid. Direct the flow of brake fluid
away from yourself and the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Brake fluid at high pressure may come out of the
bleeder screws when opened.
CAUTION:
Before removing the master cylinder cap, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign matter
from dropping into the master cylinder reservoir. Use brake fluid or an equivalent from a fresh,
tightly sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT 4 specifications.
NOTE :
During the brake bleeding procedure, be sure the brake fluid level remains close to theMAXlevel in the master
cylinder fluid reservoir. Check the fluid level periodically during the bleeding procedure and add brake fluid as
required.
NOTE :
Do not pump the brake pedal at any time while having a bleeder screw open during the bleeding process. This will
only increase the amount of air in the system and make additional bleeding necessary. Do not allow the master
cylinder reservoir to run out of brake fluid while bleeding the system. An empty reservoir will allow additional air into
the brake system. Check the fluid level frequently and add fluid as needed. The following wheel circuit sequence for
bleeding the brake hydraulic system should be used to ensure adequate removal of all trapped air from the hydraulic
system.
Brake Bleeding Procedure
The following wheel circuit sequence for bleeding the brake hydraulic system should be used to ensure adequate
removal of all trapped air from the hydraulic system:
• Left rear wheel
• Right front wheel
• Right rear wheel
• Left front wheel
Manual Brake Bleeding
NOTE :
To bleed the brakes manually, the aid of a helper will be required.
Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to the proper level with brake fluid.

Front Brake Caliper
Disassemble
Before disassembling the brake caliper, clean and inspect it.
WARNING!
•Under no condition should high pressure air ever be used to remove a piston from a caliper bore. Personal
injury could result from such a practice.
• Do not place face or hands near caliper and piston if using compressed air pressure to remove piston. Do not
use high pressure.
1. Place a wooden block in the caliper.
2. If necessary, apply low pressure compressed air to
the caliper fluid inlet in short spurts to force the pis-
ton out.
3. Remove the piston from the caliper.
4. Remove the dust boot from the piston and discard it.
CAUTION:
Do not use a screwdriver or other metal tool
for seal removal. Using such tools can scratch
the bore or leave burrs on the seal groove
edges.
5. Using a soft tool such as a plastic trim stick (1),work the piston seal (2) out of its groove in caliper
piston bore. Discard the used seal.

ABS Braking
•ABS operation is available at all vehicle speeds above 20 km/h. If a wheel locking tendency is detected during
a brake application, the brake system enters the ABS mode. During ABS braking, hydraulic pressure in the four
wheel circuits is modulated to prevent any wheel from locking. Each wheel circuit is designed with a set of
electric solenoids to allow modulation. The system can build and release pressure at each wheel, depending on
signals generated by the wheel speed sensors at each wheel and received at the ABS Module.
• There are a few performance characteristics of the ABS that may at first seem abnormal, but in fact are nor-
mal. These characteristics are described below.
If the electrical system malfunctions, the Fail-Safe function is activated, the ABS becomes inoperative and
the ABS warning lamp turns on.
During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

ABS Bleeding Instructions
When bleeding the ABS system, the following bleeding sequence must be followed to ensure complete and adequate
bleeding:
1. Make sure all hydraulic fluid lines are installed and properly torqued.
2. Connect the X-431 scan tool to the diagnostics connector.
3. Using the scan tool, check to make sure the ABS module does not have any fault codes stored. If it does, clear them.
4. Bleed the base brake system (See Manual Brake Bleeding in Section 12 Brake).
NOTE :
Pressure bleeding is recommended to bleed the base brake system to ensure all air is removed from the brake
system.
5. Using the scan tool, access ABS bleedingfunction. Follow the instructions displayed. When finished, discon-
nect the scan tool and proceed.
6. Bleed the base brake system a second time. Check brake fluid level in the reservoir periodically to prevent emptying, causing air to enter the hydraulic system.
7. Fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir to the MAXlevel.
8. Test drive the vehicle to be sure the brakes are operating correctly and that the brake pedal does not feel spongy.
