With ABS

NOTE: The anti-lock brake system must be bled in two steps.

1. To bleed the brake master cylinder and Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), disconnect the 40-pin plug from the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and install the anti-lock brake adapter to the wire harness 40-pin plug.

NOTE: The brake master cylinder and HCU must be bled using Anti-lock Brake Adapter T9OP-50-ALA and Jumper T93T-50-ALA. If this procedure is not followed, air will be trapped in the HCU which eventually leads to a spongy brake pedal.

a. Place the bleed/harness selector in bleed position.
b. Turn the ignition switch ON. At this point the red OFF indicator on the adapter should turn on.
c. Push the motor button on the adapter down. This starts the pump motor. The red OFF indicator turns off and the green ON indicator turns on. The pump motor will run for 60 seconds once the motor button is pushed (you do not need to hold the button down). If the pump motor is to be turned off for any reason before this 60 seconds has elapsed, push the abort button and the pump motor will turn off.
d. After the first 20 seconds have passed, push and hold the valve button for 20 seconds. This bleeds any trapped air from the brake master cylinder and HCU.
e. The pump continues to run for an additional 20 seconds after the valve button is released.
2. Bleed the brake lines in the following order:
^ Right rear
^ Left rear
^ Right front
^ Left front
