Brakes won't bleed - Weak stream of brake fluid - Removing air pocket from ABS module

Brakes won't bleed - Weak stream of brake fluid - Removing air pocket from ABS module - FIXED!

I can't get my brakes to bleed properly. I don't get any air to come out and there is a weak stream of fluid coming out of the bleeder screw on my brake caliper even after pumping the brakes a bunch. Why is this happening? I disconnected the brake line from the ABS module in order to repair the brake line. When I disconnected the fitting from the ABS module, I introduced air into the ABS module. That air pocket is not allowing me to properly bleed my brakes. I also have a soft brake pedal. I show you two methods for activating the ABS module. Once with a diagnostic tool and once with a little hill billy ingenuity. After activating the ABS module, the air pocket finally broke free and I was able to bleed my brakes properly. No more soft brake pedal!

@frankrightbrain Жыл бұрын

@John P only 20 mph for me on a dirt road a mile and a half away. I activated the anti-lock system several times, parked it and waited till yesterday so my Son could be the break man for me. I bled all 4 wheel brake cylinders into a clean glass jar bleeder I made so I could collect the fluid for recycling and reduce cleanup. I bled them until all air and dirty fluid was remove and I got clean fluid in the jar. The difference was amazing. Obviously the Chevy Dealer tech that replaced all my brake lines for me didn’t “burp” the anti-lock brake pump as I had spongy brakes until yesterday. Now I have a full pedal and effortless braking.

My brakes completely locked up, making RPM's scream and transmission not work, while on a cross country road trip, alone. They would release after sitting and cooling a while, then lock up again. Been working on vehicles my whole life and refuse to take to a shop. Little did I know that my stubbornness would lead me to being broke down on the side of the Arizona road for 2 weeks. Started checking fuses, then wheel speed sensors. Tested abs control module by unplugging it, still locked up. Called a brake shop that said it's the master cylinder. Changed it out. Did a bench bleed on my tailgate, that was fun! Along with bleeding brakes by myself... figuring it all out as I go. I was ready to push it if the edge of the grand canyon if this didn't work. It worked for about 300 miles and starred locking up again. I would pull over and crack the lines on master and carry on my way till getting home. They finally got so bad all I could do is get 10 feet down the road. I then changed out the brake hoses. Bled and bled and bled again. No pedal whatsoever. Did a reset on the proportioning valve and still wouldn't bleed. I really don't want to change that! But at this point that's all that's left unless this trick works... any advice???

@rickrose2235 Жыл бұрын

I had this same problem. Old brake fluid can boil so first change brake fluid out completely with new brake fluid. Second old rubber brake lines can break down internally so change those out with new lines. Third caliper pistons can sieze in there bore so check that they can be compressed with a large C-Clamp. Forth brake pads can seize up on there slides and pins so make sure there sliding freely (you can wire brush the brake pads slides and clean and regrease the caliper pins). Fiveth your caliper pistons can be seized so you can replace then with rebuilt or new units. I would start going down this list and your problem has to be one of these. Good luck

I fixed mine with spreading the crimped rubber line holder apart. Turns out that over time rust squeezes the hose so tight in that crimped area that it would not allow fluid to return when you release the brake pedal. saved hundreds.

Bi-directional scan tools are awesome! I’m not familiar with the Zurich brand tools, but it looks similar to other modern scan tools I’ve played with. The one I have is an autel and does normally dealer level functions on everything I’ve run into working on my rigs over the past year or so I’ve had it. I like that they aren’t limited to one manufacturer and I’ve used it on my buddy’s rigs, (ford, Chevy, dodge, Toyota, VW, and Honda off the top of my head) and easily performed stuff like a fast learn on my Allison, programming injector flow rates (duramax) smart key programming (multiple vehicles) and a FICM flash on a 6.0 PSD. GM dealer wanted $200 for the fast learn alone. I did not spend the extra $100ish to get the wireless capability like the one in the video, but I wish I had. I’ll have to do some reading on the Zurich units. Anyone who does more than change oil and basic maintenance on obd2 vehicles could greatly increase their capabilities with a bi-directional scan tool. No-directional is the key though. Cheap scan tools (usually about $150 and less) are generally not more than code readers and I never saw the need to get one as autozone and similar stores will scan codes for free, as long as you can get the vehicle there. Bi-directional scan tools allow you to send commands to the vehicle’s computer and do things like temporarily shut down injectors and command certain functions for diagnostics that you would not normally be able to do and monitor the result. Yes, I know you can unplug injectors manually, but I’m just giving an example. You’ll have to do some research to ensure the scan tool will do the things you need, and read carefully as there is a lot of marketing wank in all of them. I contacted autel directly to ensure the $1100 tool would do a fast learn as it wasn’t clear, and even with the vin they didn’t seem positive they had one that was about $800 that did not according to my reading on forums and such. Expect to pay $800+ and the ones I looked at had a yearly subscription of $300+. Mine came with a year ‘free’, but the subscription is not required to use the tool beyond that year. It’s only necessary for vehicles and flash capabilities on vehicles newer than your current update. So keep that in mind. I avoided buying a bi-directional tool for years and intended to purchase a Chinese knockoff GM tech 2 that would only work on GM rigs of specific years as that’s most of what I work on in my spare time, and the T2 wouldn’t do what I need on the newer can bus GM trucks at that. Fortunately, two bad experiences with shady sellers led me to the Autel MS906 (I think) and it’s worked well on every vehicle I’ve used it on. I’m not paid or anything, so this isn’t an ad. There’s other brands I’m sure that would do everything I’ve needed, but I got a discount on the autel and am very happy with it. It seems there are a lot of people who don’t flush their brake fluid regularly, and a lot that do don’t usually activate the abs module to get the old hydroscopic fluid out of that unit which is important to do. I did it the same way Dan did for years though. I like squalling out the factory bleeders for speed bleeders as I’m normally working on stuff by myself and haven’t bought a power bleeder yet. Good video man, and good information. I found your channel while trying to explain this stuff to a buddy who’s not close enough for me to just do it and sent him this video.

@billsmith2212 2 жыл бұрын

There are now scan tools in the $ 700 to $ 800 range that do this . Think Tool , Top Don and X Tool D8 . There is also an X Tool that works with a phone or lap top for less , I believe the A30 Pro . These all are bi directional . Just research that it does all the tests on your vehicle and check how much updates cost . Scanner Danner recently had a 10% off code on one of these and a Toyota mechanic " The Car Care Nut " had 8% off on another .

Do research before rushing out for one of these tablet scanners. Some have to have software activated. This can cost as much as the unit and it is only good for 2 or 3 years.

Just took on the dreaded brake line job on my 2004 Yukon. The passenger side line from the caliper to the ABS block rusted and blew. I ordered the Dorman kit and did them all. Three years ago, I did the two for the rear from the ABS block to the rear axle. So I have had to flush and bleed the hell out of the brake system twice. You don’t need a scan tool or to risk driving around with no brakes while trying to burp the ABS module. What you need to do is turn the ignition key to the ON position while bleeding. This keeps the ABS module valves open to let fluid, and air pass through. You will have to allow time and patience for this because it will take a while to bleed but you will get a solid brake pedal when done. I usually have someone working the pedal while I open and close the bleeder while they push and release the pedal. I also run a hose from the bleeder to a cup of fluid and have the person repeatedly pump the pedal with the bleeder open. Last, I run the engine and bleed each wheel again. Solid pedal every time, no scan tool or risky driving needed. Edit- I am not trying to take away from the video at all. Those methods work. Scan tools are very useful and it is convenient to command the ABS to engage while sitting still to bleed brakes. I had a Crown Vic give me a fit once while bleeding so I drove it with a limp pedal to try an activate the ABS and it helped. I learned the key on while bleeding trick a while ago and it has worked for me.

have same problem on my car. nothing comes out from left rear brake, cracked open the line from abs module to the left rear, only small amount of fluid comes out. how do i know if the solenoid gets clogged?

@ijonnypro Жыл бұрын

Question regarding the second method; Would it be possible to activate the abs if the vehicle is on jacks vs in an open field?

@jankotze1959 9 ай бұрын

Thank You, do you need to pump and hold the bakes when you blead it or can you just put the ignition on and blead the brakes on a car with an ABS module

I have a 2006 Hyundai Elantra the rear left brake caliper has no pressure when bleeding. I've done an ABS bleed master cylinder bleed and blee all the wheels. But very little fluid comes out from the rear left wheel. What should i look at? I've already replaced the master cylinder too.

@johnjkizer6399 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. My question is when flushing the brake fluid from my friends car I cannot get fluid to come out of any of the 4 wheels, if it was only one wheel that wasn’t bleeding I know that it would be likely a bad caliper but on all four wheels, could it be the abs unit that giving problems or master brake cyclinder. Thanks

Foxwell sells a scan tool that sucks, for around $150, but it will activate the abs module for bleeding brakes, you can hear pump run which is what you want to happen, but after that it gives you a message that it can't communicate with vehicle, as far as I am concerned it already did, my module was activated, which was what I wanted to happen

What if when you try to perform the test on the scanner and it says you can't because there are stored codes ive already replaced the abs control module and I had to remove the abs pump to do so because the torx bits got stripped out so now I've got all these lights on my parking brake light my abs light and traction control light all after replacing the abs control module I've already cleaned the grounds as well

I'm actually having the same issue today with 2001 Chevrolet blazer 4.3 changed the hub assembly and removed the caliper replaced the pads and now I'm barely getting any fluid during bleeding. I'm assuming by your video I have air in the ABS module.

@Cw81Deut6n4 2 жыл бұрын

For me it's backwards, lots of fluid coming out of front, rear brakes hardly anything..and weak pedal..it stops but soft pedal. After inspection of rear drum shoes, they were out of adjustment and worn thin. I've replaced booster and master cylinder. I did prime master cyl.. I dunno..it's on a 2006 gmc sierra. I also tried the parking lot gravel to active abs. Did that like 5 times.. seemed a little better but rear brakes still just dribbling. Could it be because the rear brakes to be replaced? Would that help with pedal?

This was EXACTLY the problem with my '99 Suburban. Paid to have it bleed once, worked great right after but it came back (mushy pedal). So annoying! I hope this takes care of it for you for good. I sold my truck and bought a 2014 Silverado. No issues, yet.

Same problem with 2011 impala. The brake lines from the master cylinder go up and then down to the abs. Could not get the air out of that loop. I did it on jackstands. Went 20-30 mph and hammered the brakes for about 5 minutes. Thanks

Nice vid! If none of the bleeders are open, where’s the air going? Would it ruin the process if I did open the bleeder(s)? (‘02 Tahoe w/scan tool).

Hi your ABS issues sound similar to my sinking pedal issue .. on my Citroen C5 saloon car . I have replaced front and rear brake pads . sucked out the old fluid from master cylinder reservoir and Vacuum bled all four corners . The brakes were excellent prior to my diy servicing . I am a super competent 77 year old ex Donnington GT championship winner. My Foxwell NT 630 PRO.scan tool has ABS bleed function . Not sure if I got my head around that . but now the brakes sort of work but light pressure make for a slight pull to the right . a more aggressive stop on dry tarmac returns a gliding along slowing down , easing the pedal pressure and the brakes grab momentarily . I believe the ABS unit is somehow upset at my vacuum bleeding ., maybe retracting the caliper pistons has upset the normal operation of the ABS valves and pistons . Like you I have only experienced a weak stream of brake fluid when bleeding . Almost as if there is a pressure valve restricting the flow of brake fluid .. I am convinced that the scan tool will sort the problem but i am a mechanic and havent got my head around the scan tools full capabilities . Surely there is a factory default setting for all ABS modules . I haven't found a video showing me haw to reset my ABS .

Do GM's have prostates? Weak flow.... could you do the same thing but hit the parking brake to lock the rears to activate the ABS pump?

Hey man I have something similar and I need help cuz I tried bleeding my breaks and the front ones are good but the rear ones can't seem to be bled , also previous owner seemed to pour power steering fluid and caused the master cylinder to fail and replaced it but now can't seem to bleed the rear breaks any thought?
