Brake bleed procedure TDV8 4.4 2011 | |
Evening all,
For downstream of HCU, workshop manual states, as step 4: "Conduct the bleed procedure with the engine running."
And for step 5: "Connect the diagnostic tool to the vehicle, select diagnostic and proceed as directed for bleeding the brake system."
It (the workshop manual) then proceeds to outline a fairly standard bleed procedure using 28 "centre 1/3" pedal strokes for the rears and 10 similar strokes for the front etc. Order for RHD is RL, RR, FL, FR.
My questions: How important is it to have the diagnostic tool connected? Can this be done without? If required, does the IID tool have this functionality?
Any guidance very much appreciated!
Cheers, J.
