Next, attachĪ clear tube (1) to the bleeder screw on the first wheel to beīled. Submerge the end of the tube in a clear container (2)įilled with clean brake fluid, as shown in Figure 1.īleed the base brake system.
Then, connect the scan tool to the diagnostics (OBDII) connector.Ĭheck to be sure there are no stored fault codes for the ABM. Steps must be followed to ensure complete and adequate bleeding.įirst, make sure all hydraulic fluid lines are installed and properly When bleeding the ABS, the following sequence of

That the brake fluid level remains close to the FULL level in the masterĬylinder fluid reservoir check the fluid level periodically during theīleeding procedure add Mopar ® DOT 3 brake fluid as required. NOTE: During the brake bleeding procedure, be sure The ABS portion of the brake system must be bled System (base system) with ABS should be bled the same way as any Bleeding the ABSīrake systems with ABS must be bled as two The HCU is replaced, the entire brake system must be bled because theīrake system has now been opened and air has been allowed in. The case with a base brake system (no ABS), air in the HCU will prevent In a nutshell, that is how the ABS works. Pedal), except it is being done much faster than humanly possible. The ABS is doing the same thing (pumping the brake

Pressure was accomplished by the driver pumping the brake pedal pump furiouslyĪnd repeatedly. In the days before ABS, this buildup and release of hydraulic Sensor (WSS) at each wheel and received at the Antilock Brake Module The system can build and release hydraulic pressureĪt each wheel, depending on the signals generated by the Wheel Speed (The HCU is commonly known as the accumulator and is part The pressure is regulated by the Integrated Control The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)Ĭontrols the flow of brake fluid using a series of valves andĪccumulators. During ABSīraking, the hydraulic pressure is not the same rather, it is regulated One or more wheels will lock when braking on ice or snow). One or more wheels is detected during application of the brakes (meaning Pedal is pushed and the hydraulic pressure is applied equally at eachĪBS mode is activated when the locking tendency for Speeds), the ABS (antilock brake system) functions the same asĪ standard base brake system with a diagonally split master cylinderĪnd conventional vacuum assist (also known as power brakes). Under normal braking conditions (dry roads, normal Spongy brake pedal feel and reduced braking performance. Purge, or bleed, this air from the hydraulic system can result in a soft, Installing a new master system and replacing the ABS accumulator. This air must be purged.Įxamples of such repairs include replacing the caliper and/or wheel cylinder, Hydraulic system be opened, air will enter the system.
When a brake system repair requires that the Likely means that the hydraulic system is not opened to allow air to In most cases, very little, if any, air will be present. When a routine brake job is performed (padsĪnd/or shoes, and maybe the rotors/drums, are replaced), theīrake system should be bled to remove any residual air in the brake You can check out all of Classic Performance Products brake system parts and tools right here.How to purge the air out of braking systems. If you don’t happen to have the syringe you can still use a screwdriver to actuate the piston in the master cylinder to move fluid during the bleeding process. You start the process by filling the master cylinder up with plenty of fluid and then injecting each port. Using the syringe lets you circulate fluid into the chambers much easier and fill the ports up inside the master cylinder. The CPP bleeder tool kit makes the entire master cylinder bleeding process even easier with its tubes, port plugs, tube holders, and syringe. Having the master cylinder level might not seem like a big deal, but it gives you the opportunity to make sure there are no additional bubbles trapped inside.

Bench bleeding provides total access to the master cylinder, plus it allows you to make sure the master cylinder is level during the bleeding process.

Classic Performance Products put together this neat video that shows how to do it, plus it demonstrates how to use its bleeder tool kit.ĭepending on your vehicle space can be pretty tight where your master cylinder is located and that can make the bleeding process a challenge. There are a plethora of tools on the market, along with countless tricks out there to make the job easier, and one that some might not know about is bench bleeding a master cylinder.

Getting a braking system ready after an upgrade or maintenance isn’t a glamorous process - in fact, it’s downright monotonous and time-consuming.
