Brake fluid change - ABS fault

[da_warped_1]

I am about to change my brake fluid, and my haynes manuals says that potentially an ABS fault may arise and a scan tool will be needed to fix it. Has anyone come across an ABS fault while changing the brake fluid and if so how do you fix it?

Cheers.

Just make sure the reservoir remains full at all times and it shouldn't have this problem....ABS faults is usually from air in the system

Dont you have to bleed the system with tech2? I dont think you can just bleed it the old fashioned way.

no you dont, they has been some people having issues when compressing the pistons back in when installing pads.the biggest issue is that the master dosent run dry..tech 2 is only a hand held computer my freind... you can even use your home lap top with the right cable and software

As said, as long as the M/c doesn't run empty you should have no problems. You are only changing the fluid, so there should be no air present to trigger a fault.

Tech 2 is used to pump the ABS modulator on and off to run it through that
