The view inside the ABS T-wrench.
It took ages to recover all of the existing brake fluid from the
accumulator because there was so much air in there.
Probably it was never flushed in the past and hence I had to open, close the
bleeder and wait for a while before I could re-open it.





For this year model, it left the factory with the 2nd generation ABS
so the shape of the ABS reservoir is different compared to the original one.

Drained and cleaned the reservoir.





Time to activate the four solenoids.

Many people recommends to ‘exercise’ the ABS but not many owners
have access to the ideal conditions to lock all four wheels at the same time.

Therefore, it is important to activate individual solenoids manually like this.

Also, it's not easy to detect the ‘stuck closed’ solenoid issue by exercising the
ABS so again, activating the solenoid manually once a year is very important.

Another reason why it is included as a standard menu in my customised
annual service for the classic ABS owners.


Good news for the owner.
All four solenoids activated and responded properly.
Also, when the ABS itself is still new like on this NSX,
the noise from the ABS pump is very quiet, smooth and rythmical.

You can still hear it but not like the squeaking one that
you will hear on the old tired system.





Spare wheel back in place and time for the test driving session to
adjust the ABS fluid level.
