Hydraulic Brake System Flushing (ABS W/Traction Control)

Notice: 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 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.

Important:
^ If evidence of contamination is present in the vehicle's brake fluid, flush the entire brake system. Use one of the following procedures:
^ After flushing the entire brake system, replace all rubber components.
^ Replace the following components:
- Brake hoses
- Master cylinder rubber parts
- Brake caliper and wheel cylinder boots and seals
- Combination valve
- ABS hydraulic modulator
- TCS hydraulic modulator
- ABS solenoids
^ Refer to the appropriate replacement procedures.
^ After replacing all rubber components, re-flush the entire brake system by performing one of the following procedures.
^ After performing the second flushing procedure, perform a complete system bleed. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (ABS w/Traction Control)
^ Flush the system if there is any doubt about the condition of the fluid in the system or if the fluid used contains the slightest trace of mineral oil (from such things as engine oil, transmission fluid, etc.)
