Subject: Re: How do you flush the ABS? by Fluff on 2009/8/3 19:03:12 I'll try being a bit more forceful with it then. Now ain't it great when a plan comes together......! I've just finished flushing and bleed the system and now the dash and DIC are lit up like a xmas tree!!!. Here's the scenario:- I syphoned off most of the old fluid from the master cylinder and removed the fluid container (not the entire mast cyl) to give it a good clean. Put it back together, refilled with new fluid (DOT 4) and flushed/bled all four corners. So far so good. Then I started the engine and the usual dash/DIC lights went through there cycle and then (without driving or pressing the brake pedal) the DIC Service ASR and Service ABS lights came on. Thought I'd try the ABS suggestion and went for a drive and and stamped on the brakes to activate the ABS. At this point the Check Brakes light also came on in the dash display. Went home, re-bled the system (no more air came out), started the engine and now all the lights (Check Brakes, Serv ASR, Serv ABS) are on all the time! When driving the brake pedal feels too hard (little give) and the brakes are useless. The servo 'seems' to be working in as much as the pedal goes down if you press on it and start the engine. I'm off to study the FSM, but anyone got any ideas/thoughts? |
