DIY ABS bleeding

[GeoffM]

Reviewing some other threads, and thought this would be helpful. Please be CAREFUL, the ABS is very high pressure. Also, the proper way to do this is with special tools and a $1200 computer... in case you were interested.

First off, scrap the ALB Checker and the Bleed wrench..
What you will have to do is locate the ABS pump relay located in the fuse block underneath the hood.. you will pull out that 4 pin relay and look at where the COPPER colored terminals connect into the fuse block.... If you place a jumper wire in the same slots where those copper pins would fit, ignition in the "on" position.. the ABS pump will initiate.. remember Copper colored pins, not the silver ones..

You need to locate the bleeder screw on the ABS modulator and make sure the ABS fluid reservoir is full.. jump the terminals in the fuse block to start the ABS pump, run the pump for only a matter of seconds.. four or five seconds is appropriate.. you will then loosen the bleeder nut on the ABS modulator.. Do this very slow, ABS systems are high pressure and brake fluid will shoot out and make a mess.. now repeat the above..

Keep repeating the process while keeping an eye on the fluid level in the reservoir.. This process does not usually take the first couple times and may require that you do it a half dozen times or more.. keep with it and you will get all the air out of the system.. you will know if you were successful when the ABS pump does not over-run and no ABS codes exist


I have to be honest, I did copy this:

I did this and it worked. I had to move the top half of the air intake so I could get a wrench on the bleeder. It was something very small, 1/4 inch or so. It definitely needed to be bled. When I opened it brake foam came out!
