BRAKE BLEEDING
1. Make sure the master cylinder reservoir is full and the reservoir is open.
2. Connect the short plastic tubing to the vent canister lid and place the lid on the vent canister, the
short hose should now be in the canister.
3. Connect the bleed tank to the hand pump using the other short hose.
4. Connect one end of the long hose to the bleed canister and the other end to a suitable brake
caliper bleed valve adapter.
5. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir before you bleed the next wheel brake cylinder or
brake caliper.
6. Place the bleed adapter on the bleed valve of the wheel brake cylinder or brake calliper.
7. Pump 10-15 times until a vacuum is generated.
8. Open the bleed valve until the brake fluid flows bubble-free through the hose.
NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat the steps 7 to 8 several times.
9. Important: Finally, check the brake fluid level and top up if necessary.
TEST A MAP SENSOR (Example)
1. Connect one side of the long plastic hose to the vacuum pump.
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the test object, as in the example on a MAP sensor.
3. Operate the vacuum pump until a value is displayed.
4. The value must not drop, otherwise the MAP sensor has a leak and must be replaced.
5. Compare the MAP sensor output to the applied vacuum reading. For example, some vehicles
have a MAP sensor that outputs a frequency signal to the ECU. Depending on the applied
negative pressure, this is between 85 and 160 Hz.
Note: To check the map sensor, a frequency meter is required next to the vacuum pump. MAP sensor
data from the sensor manufacturer must be available for this test.
It is to extensive to show all testing options of many types of vehicle.
Read the possible tests in a workshop literature that is offered in free trade.
