WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Lexus SC 300 and 1995 Lexus SC 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- ABS bleeding procedure is the same for all systems. On models without TRAC, if master cylinder reservoir is empty or is suspected of containing air, bleed master cylinder first. On models with TRAC, bleed TRAC system first. See appropriate TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM under BLEEDING PROCEDURES.
- Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full of brake fluid. Connect vinyl tube to caliper bleeder screw and insert other end of tube in a clear container 1/4 full of brake fluid.
- Slowly pump brake pedal several times. While depressing brake pedal, loosen bleeder screw until fluid starts to flow out, and then close bleeder screw. Repeat operation until no bubbles are present in fluid. Tighten bleeder screw to 96 INCH lbs. (11 N.m). See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE .
NOTE:
If master cylinder has been disassembled, is new or reservoir becomes empty, bleed master cylinder before bleeding wheels.
