Alternate Method

CAUTION: Use alternate method only if ABS warning light is NOT on and no DTCs are present. Follow procedure exactly, DO NOT place foot on brake pedal unless directed to do so.
  1. With foot off brake pedal, start engine and run for at least 10 seconds, observing amber ABS warning light. If ABS warning light came on and stayed on after 10 seconds, DO NOT bleed brakes. Tech 1 scan tester must be used to diagnose ABS malfunction.
  2. If ABS warning light came on for about 3 seconds then went off and stayed off, turn ignition off. Repeat procedure a second time. If ABS is okay, bleed entire system using either MANUAL BLEEDING  or PRESSURE BLEEDING  procedure.
