FL caliper won't bleed

Senna-F1 · 10-27-2017, 02:53 AM

Just FYI, the Front Left caliper is actually the 2nd in the series, not the 4th. This is according to the service manual. Im about to use my motive as well. How's the pressure in the bottle, maybe it needs a bit more to get through the ABS? 15 psi? Also, manual states to Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery negative terminal before performing the work... in case its an ABS issue.

always keep the bottle pressure at 15~. If it was not pushing through the ABS actuator i would not have fluid at the end of the line.

I'm going to see if i can squeeze anything trough it manually tonight. I got rebuild kits on the way just incase
