Replacement When Using CONSULT-II
REFILLING AND BLEEDINGCAUTION:
^ Refill with new brake fluid "DOT 3"
^ Always keep fluid level higher than minimum line on reservoir tank.
^ Never reuse drained brake fluid.
^ Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
BLEEDING OF PRE-CHARGE PUMP PATH
When Using CONSULT-II
1. Loosen the air bleeder on the top of the master cylinder.
2. Slowly depress the brake pedal fully to the stop.
3. Close the air bleeder with the pedal depressed.
4. Release the pedal.
^ Repeat the steps 1 to 4 shown above, until new brake fluid comes out.
5. Bleed air from the brake line of the RH or LH front wheel (normal bleeding).
CAUTION: Check the fluid level after approx. 1 minute, because it takes approximately 1 minute to fill the brake fluid in the reservoir tank fully.
6. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector on the vehicle, and turn the ignition switch ON (Do not start the engine).
7. Touch "START," "VDC," "ORK SUPPORT," and "BLEEDING" on the CONSULT-II screen in this order.
8. Depress the brake pedal.
9. Loosen the air bleeder on the RH or LH of the front wheel.
10. Touch "START". (The pre-charge pump operates for 20 consecutive seconds, then stops.)
CAUTION:
^ At this time, keep depressing the brake pedal.
^ While the pre-charge pump operates for 20 consecutive seconds, pay attention to the level of the fluid in the reservoir tank, and refill the tank in order to always keep it at least half-full.
11. Touch "END".
12. Tighten the air bleeder.
13. Release the brake pedal.
14. Disconnect the data link connector.
15. Carry out the steps 1 to 4 shown above.
16. Bleed the brake line of four wheels (normal bleeding).
When not using CONSULT-II
1. Loosen the air bleeder on the top of the master cylinder.
2. Slowly depress the brake pedal fully to the stop.
3. Close the air bleeder with the pedal depressed.
4. Release the pedal.
^ Repeat the steps 1 to 4 shown above, until new brake fluid comes out.
5. Bleed air from the brake path of the RH or LH front wheel (normal bleeding).
CAUTION: Check the fluid level after approx. 1 minute, because it takes approximately 1 minute to fill the brake fluid in the reservoir tank fully.
6. After turning the ignition switch ON, turn it OFF. Short-circuit the vehicle-side DDL2 data link connector terminal No. 8 on to body ground.
7. Turn the ignition switch ON with the brake pedal depressed, and wait for at least 10 seconds. (Keep the brake pedal depressed during this time.)
8. Within approximately 40 seconds after turning the ignition switch ON, repeat releasing and short-circulating the vehicle-side DDL2 data link connector terminal No. 8 for 10 times to short-circuit to body ground. (grounded to body ground)
9. Release the air bleeder on the front RH or LH wheel.
10. 2 or 3 seconds later, repeat turning the VDC OFF switch ON to OFF for 10 times, after that turn it OFF.
11. 5 seconds later, the pre-charge pump operates for 20 seconds consecutively, then stops.
12. Tighten the air bleeder.
13. Release the brake pedal.
14. Disconnect the DDL2 data link connector terminal No. 8 from body ground.
15. Carry out the steps 1 to 4 shown above.
16. Bleed the brake line of four wheels (normal bleeding).
