ABS Bleeding Notes


Note: If any brake component is repaired or replaced such that air is allowed to enter the brake system, the entire bleeding procedure MUST be followed.

Note: Prior to bleeding the brakes, the front and rear displacement cylinder pistons must be returned to the topmost position ("home") position).

The preferred method uses a Tech 1 to perform the rehoming procedure. If a Tech 1 is not available, the second procedure may be used, but it is extremely important that the procedure be followed exactly as outlined.
