8. ABS and brake bleeding
Once again, it’s time for the ABS service.
Looks like the previous owner(s) were activating the ABS regularly as none of the four solenoids were sticky. They were all operating fine which was a good news.
Still, the system was full of air and initially, the pump motor didn’t sound well so flushed it several times. It started to sound normal after 3rd flush.
Each solenoid was flushed using the proper 090 size pins and the fluid was replaced before moving to the next solenoid. Quite often, people just replace the fluid inside the ABS reservoir without flushing all four solenoids.
Without this process, there is no gurantee that all of your solenoids are healthy. Also, you will be mixing the new fluid with the old one which is stored behind the solenoid valve.
