Without Scan Tool

NOTE: This method can only be used if the ABS indicator lamp is not illuminated and no DTCs 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 ABS indicator lamp.
3. If the ABS indicator lamp turned ON and stayed ON after about 10 seconds, a scan tool must be used to diagnose the ABS malfunction.
4. If the ABS indicator 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 can now be bled.
