    Anti-Lock Braking System Bleeding The Brake Circuit

    Uploaded by

    This document provides instructions for bleeding the brake circuit and brake control circuit of a vehicle's anti-lock braking system. The brake circuit is bled first with the engine off by opening bleed screws in a specified order. The brake control circuit is then bled using a diagnostic tool to activate solenoid valves while gently pumping the brake pedal. A road test is performed to check pedal travel, repeating the process if needed to ensure proper braking function.

    ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

    Bleeding the brake circuit 38C


    Bleeding the brake circuit outside the control circuit

    Special precautions to be taken during the brake circuit bleeding operation:


    – The vehicle ignition must be off to ensure that the hydraulic unit solenoid valves do not operate.

    This procedure, known as conventional bleeding, can be applied after removal or during replacement of:
    – a rigid pipe,
    – a hose,
    – a calliper.

    Put the vehicle on a two-post lift.

    Connect the bleeding device to the vehicle brake fluid tank, paying attention to the features of this equipment (refer
    to the driver's handbook).

    Fit the bleed reservoirs to the bleed screws.

    Bleed the circuit by opening the bleed screws in the following order (remember to close them after the operation):
    – rear right-hand circuit,
    – front left-hand circuit,
    – rear left-hand circuit,
    – front right-hand circuit.

    With the engine switched off, check the pedal travel.

    If it is not correct, start the bleeding procedure again.

    Top up the brake fluid level in the reservoir having disconnected the bleeding device. Check the tightness of the
    bleed screws and that the sealing caps are all present.

    Check that the adjustment of the brakes is satisfactory by carrying out a road test. If the pedal travel becomes
    incorrect during the road test, apply the brake control circuit bleeding procedure.

    The efficiency and balance of a vehicle braking system may be checked on a brake test bench or by performing a
    road test.

    Bleeding the brake control circuit

    IMPORTANT: this bleed can only be carried out after bleeding the brake circuit outside the control circuit
    (see previous page).

    This procedure must be used after one of the following components has been removed or replaced:
    – the master cylinder,
    – the hydraulic unit,
    – the brake fluid,
    – the fluid reservoir.

    Put the vehicle on a two-post lift.

    Connect:
    – the vehicle brake fluid reservoir air bleeding device (refer to the driver's handbook),
    – the diagnostic tool.

    Fit the bleed reservoirs.

    A bleeding cycle consists of the following:

    Open the bleed screw of the rear right-hand wheel.


    Activate the solenoid valve of the rear right-hand wheel (command AC156).
    While the solenoid valve is operational, gently depress the brake pedal (without it reaching its travel limit) and
    release slowly.
    This action on the pedal allows the brake circuit to be kept at a pressure equal to or above 15 bar.
    Close the bleed screw concerned.
    Carry out these operations on the next calliper.
    It is essential to respect the order:
    – left-hand rear wheel (command AC155)
    – left-hand front wheel (command AC153)
    – right-hand front wheel (command AC154)

    Disconnect the bleeding device. Top up the brake fluid level in the reservoir. Check the tightness of the bleed screws
    and that the sealing caps are all present.

    During a road test, trigger brake control to confirm that the brake pedal travel is correct.

    If the travel becomes spongy, repeat bleeding of the brake circuit outside the brake control circuit and
    bleeding of the brake control circuit until a correct brake pedal travel is obtained.

    It is consequently possible to use a larger quantity of brake fluid than the capacity of the circuit.
