Service Procedure

1. Open the driver's door.

2. Depress and hold the brake pedal using a brake pedal prop rod.

NOTE:
Keeping the brake pedal in the "applied" position makes bleeding the brakes faster and easier.

3. Open the hood.

4. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

NOTE:
To enhance customer satisfaction, remember to reset the clock when you have completed the service procedure.

5. Disconnect the engine air inlet hose from the turbocharger inlet.

6. Pull up on the air cleaner housing and remove the air cleaner and air inlet hose assembly from the vehicle.

7. Disconnect the Power Distribution Center (PDC) from its mounting bracket. Set the PDC aside and secure it with a bunji cord to keep it out of the way.





8. Disconnect the left front brake tube (2nd inboard position) from the ABS hydraulic control unit (HCU) (Figure 1).

9. Raise the vehicle on an appropriate hoist.

10. Disconnect the left front wheel speed sensor wiring clips from the brake tube.





11. Disconnect the left front brake tube from the left front brake hose (Figure 2).

12. Remove the brake tube from the vehicle and discard it.

13. Install the new brake tube into the vehicle and loosely connect it to the brake hose.

14. Lower the vehicle.

15. Loosely connect the new brake tube to the ABS HCU.

16. Raise the vehicle.

17. Using a crow's foot on a torque wrench, tighten the brake tube-to-brake hose connection to 145 in-lbs (17 N.m).

18. Attach the wheel speed sensor wire clips to the brake tube.

19. Lower the vehicle.

20. Using a crow's foot on a torque wrench, tighten the brake tube-to-ABS HCU connection to 145 in-lbs (17 N.m).

21. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with clean brake fluid that conforms to DOT-3 specifications.

22. Raise the vehicle.

23. Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw on the left front wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of the hose.

24. Remove the brake pedal prop rod and have a helper pump the brake pedal three or four times and then hold it in the down position.

25. With the pedal in the down position, open the left front bleeder screw at least one full turn.

26. Once the brake pedal has dropped, close the bleeder screw. After the bleeder screw is closed, release the brake pedal.

27. Repeat steps 24-26 until all trapped air is removed from the left front brake circuit (usually four or five times).

28. Remove the plastic hose from the bleeder screw.

29. Lower the vehicle.

30. Top off the master cylinder with brake fluid.

31. Verify that there are no brake fluid leaks at the brake tube connections and assure proper brake operation.
