Bleeding Brake System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Bleed air in the following order: motor/accumulator assembly → front right brake → front left brake → rear left brake → and rear right brake.
The VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp turn ON and DTC "C118E" may be detected in self-diagnosis result for "ABS" with CONSULT when the brake pedal is excessively operated, such as air bleeding. This is not a system malfunction because this occurs due to the temporary decrease in accumulator fluid pressure. The system returns to normal condition when the accumulator fluid pressure reaches the specified pressure with the ignition switch ON and the VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp, and brake warning lamp turn OFF. After these steps, erase self-diagnosis results for "ABS" with CONSULT.
- DTC other than "C118E" is detected: Refer to "DTC INDEX ".

NOTE: When the ignition switch is ON, the brake warning lamp may turns ON even when the parking brake pedal is released with the brake fluid within the specified level. This indicates the decrease in accumulator fluid pressure.
