Hi,

I'm not sure if you have ABS or not on the vehicle. I will provide the directions for both systems. However, let me know if anything was replaced prior to doing this procedure. Also, the attached pictures correlate with the directions.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions. Also, let me know if something was replaced requiring bleeding.

Take care,

Do you have ABS? If you do, the abs module needs to be placed into bleed mode. Let me know if you have ABS or not. That was an option according to my manual.
