Bleeding the ABS System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution .

Perform a manual or pressure bleeding procedure. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual) or Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure) . If the desired brake pedal height results are not achieved, perform the automated bleed procedure below.

The procedure cycles the system valves and runs the pump in order to purge the air from the secondary circuits normally closed off during normal base brake operation and bleeding. The automated bleed procedure is recommended when air ingestion is suspected in the secondary circuits, or when the BPMV has been replaced.
