Repeatedly depress the brake pedal and bleed air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.
Repeat the step above until the air is completely bled, and then tighten the bleeder plug while depressing the brake pedal.
- Torque:
- 11 N*m{ 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf}
Bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder LH using the same procedure as for the RH side.
With the brake pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH, continue to hold the brake pedal and allow brake fluid to be drained from the bleeder plug while the pump motor operates.
- HINT:
When there is no more air in the brake fluid, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal.
- Torque:
- 11 N*m{ 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf}
Bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder LH using the same procedure as for the RH side.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Inspect for brake fluid leaks.
Check and adjust the brake fluid level ().
Clear the DTCs ().
