- ABS bleeding procedure is the same for all systems. On models without TRAC, if master cylinder reservoir is empty or is suspected of containing air, bleed master cylinder first. See MASTER CYLINDER . On models with TRAC, bleed TRAC system first. See TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (ES 300, IS 300 & RX 300) , TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (GS 300, GS 430, LX 470 & SC 430) or TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (LS 430) .
- Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full. Bleed brake lines in correct order. See BRAKE BLEEDING SEQUENCE . Connect vinyl tube to caliper bleeder screw, and insert other end of tube in a clear container 1/2 full of brake fluid.
- Slowly depress brake pedal several times. While depressing brake pedal, loosen bleeder screw until fluid starts to flow. Close bleeder screw. Repeat operation until bubbles are not present in fluid. Tighten bleeder screw to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
NOTE:
If master cylinder has been disassembled, is new or if reservoir has run dry, bleed master cylinder before bleeding wheels.
