Bleeding ABS Brakes was created by Obarno

No I'm not having a moan about the braking system! Is there a technique to bleeding Jimny abs brakes or do they bleed like ordinary ones? Do you need the engine running to work the abs pump and is it ecu controlled? I know our friends (!) with the green oval have lots of bleeding problems with their abs systems.

dont know if the abs type has the compensator valve above the rear axle, but there is a nipple on this that bleeds the front brakes, that has to be bled first.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
