Flushing Procedure With Traction Control

If evidence of contamination is present in the vehicle's brake fluid. the entire brake system must be flushed. After flushing the entire brake system, all rubber components must be replaced. Components which must be replaced include: brake hoses, master cylinder rubber parts, brake caliper and wheel cylinder boots and seals, combination valve, ABS hydraulic modulator, TCS hydraulic modulator and ABS solenoids. After all rubber components have been replaced, the entire brake system must be re-flushed. Once the second flushing procedure has been performed, a complete system bleed must be performed.

NOTE: Use only DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. Do not use any fluid from a container which is wet with water. Do not use DOT 5 silicone brake fluid. Improper brake fluid, mineral oil (from such things as engine oil, transmission fluid, etc.), or water in the fluid may cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components to deteriorate. Keep all fluid containers capped to prevent contamination. The system must be flushed if there is any doubt about the condition of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used which contains the slightest trace of mineral oil (from such things as engine oil, transmission fluid, etc.).
