Without Tech 1

NOTE: This method can only be used if the amber ABS warning lamp is not illuminated and no DTC's are present. Do not place your foot on the brake pedal through this entire procedure unless specifically directed to do so.

1. Remove foot from brake pedal.
2. Start engine and allow it to run for at least 10 seconds while observing the amber ABS warning lamp.
3. If the amber ABS warning lamp turned "ON" and stayed "ON" after about 10 seconds, the bleeding procedure must be stopped and a Tech 1 must be used to diagnose the ABS malfunction.
4. If the amber ABS warning lamp turned "ON" for approximately 3 seconds, then turned "OFF" and stayed "OFF," turn the ignition "OFF."
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 one more time.
6. The entire brake system should now be bled following either Pressure Bleeding or Manual Bleeding.
