YOU ONLY BLEED BRAKES WHEN YOU DISCONECT ANY BRAKE LINES OR HOSES OR IF YOU CHANGING YOUR ENTIRE FLUID. IF YOU JUST CHANGE PADS AND OR SHOES YOU DO NOT NEED TO BLEED IT. JUST MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU PUSH THE PISTON BACK ON YOUR CALIPERS, THE RESERVOIR CAP MUST BE OFF TO AVOID DAMAGING ANY COMPONENTS.
Having ABS does not change how you bleed the brakes. Bleed them as you would if it did not have ABS.
You need a 10mm wrench.
You bleed the brakes just like you bleed any other cars brakes, there is no special way to bleed anti-lock brakes.
Loosen the bleed valve
Remove the original brakes and in stall it slowly.
If no air got into the abs hcu then bleeding the brakes is done just as it would be on other vehicles. If air did get into the hcu or if you disconnected any brake like at the master cylinder or hcu then you will need to take it to a ford dealership to have them bleed the hcu and brakes for you.
You bleed just like all other calipers ABS is just a computer system for your brakes.
You need to have the abs checked for codes. Then you can diagnose cause.
just the abs sensor
No, the ABS light will come on when there is a problem with the anti-lock braking system. Have this looked into by a professional. You will know your brake pads need changing when you hear a squealing sound when you apply the brakes.
ABS brakes are not spongy. If you have spongy brakes the reason is that there is air in the system. You need to have your brakes bled.
you can gravity bleed by opening up bleed valves,pump them up using a someone to open bleeder valves when there is pressure,vacuum bleed with a vacuum pump ,but you might have to use a scan tool to open up abs solenoids to bleed brakes.
