Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Bleeding Procedure

Using a Tech 1, select "F6: Bleed Prep." The bleed prep function cannot be performed if certain current DTC's are present. If DTC's are present, the vehicle must be repaired and DTC's cleared before performing the bleed prep function. The entire brake system should now be bled following either Pressure Bleeding or Manual Bleeding. If the amber ABS or TCS warning lamps are turned "ON" and stay "ON" after about 10 seconds, the bleeding procedure must be stopped and a Tech 1 must be used to diagnose the ABS or TCS malfunction. Do not place your foot on the brake pedal through this entire procedure unless specifically directed to do so.
