BLEEDING
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
- Perform air bleeding with the shift lever in P and the parking brake applied.
- Perform air bleeding while maintaining the brake fluid level between the MAX and MIN lines on the brake fluid reservoir.
- When the No. 2 brake actuator hose (the hose between the brake booster pump assembly and brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) is higher than the fluid level, air enters the hose and brake booster pump assembly while the pump motor is operating and it is difficult to perform air bleeding.
- When performing air bleeding, the accumulator pressure drop may cause a buzzer to sound. As this is not a malfunction, continue with the air bleeding procedure.
- If air bleeding is performed, a motor drive permission malfunction or accumulator low pressure DTC may be stored. Clear the DTCs after performing air bleeding or whenever specified by a procedure.
- Make sure to release the parking brake before performing the linear solenoid valve offset learning and ABS holding solenoid valve learning.
- Do not allow brake fluid to contact any painted surface. If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, immediately wash it off.
- When performing air bleeding, do not continuously operate the pump motor for more than 100 seconds. If the pump motor is operated for more than 100 seconds, release the brake pedal to stop operation of the pump in order to prevent damage to the pump motor.
- As brake fluid may overflow from the reservoir when brake fluid is released from the accumulator, do not invert and place the brake fluid bottle on the reservoir filler opening.
- Do not use vacuum to bleed air from the brake system.
-
When bleeding air, select the suitable procedure according to the table below.

|
(b) Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.
|

|
(2) Add brake fluid to the reservoir until the fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines on the brake fluid reservoir.
Brake Fluid:
SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3
SAE J1704 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT4
(c) Bleed the brake line.
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn the power switch on (IG).

ECB Utility |
(3) Select "Brake Line Air Bleeding", and bleed air from the brake fluid following the instructions on the Techstream.
HINT:
When the brake pedal is released, the piston inside the master cylinder may take longer than the brake pedal to return to its original position. Therefore, make sure to wait for 1 second or more between each depression of the brake pedal.
(4) After air bleeding, tighten each bleeder plug.
Torque:
8.3 N·m {85 kgf·cm, 73 in·lbf}
(5) Clear the DTCs.

2. BLEED BRAKE LINE (When Not Using the Techstream)
NOTICE:
- Performing the following procedure enters ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid Mode without using the Techstream.
- ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid Mode allows the brake lines to be bled without using the Techstream.
- The brake warning light blinks (yellow) to indicate that ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid Mode is selected.
- Be sure to confirm that the brake warning light is blinking (yellow) throughout the brake line bleeding procedure.
-
If any of the following conditions are met, ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid Mode is canceled and the brake warning light (yellow) turns off. Do not allow ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid Mode to be canceled while bleeding the brake lines or DTCs may be stored.
The shift lever is moved from P to any other position.
The power switch is turned on (READY).
The power switch is turned off.
The parking brake is released.
The vehicle speed is more than 0 km/h (0 mph).
- Do not rotate any brake disc while ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid Mode is selected.
- Although the brake warning light (yellow) will blink and a buzzer will sound while performing brake line bleeding, this is not a malfunction.
(a) Remove all 4 wheels.
