This is a 2 person job like this without getting air in the system… one pumps the brake and then the other closes the valve then release the brakes and repeat… that simple

my car battery went dead while bleeding my brakes. After i finished the brake flush, i jumped the engine but then immediately the check engine light turned on. I went to autozone and code ABS malfunction and traction off showed up on dash. not knowing what to do, i removed the battery, check engine light turned off for now but for how long?

Would this be possible the same process on a lexus LS460?.. Or should say Toyota crown majesta Urs206 model, heard there the same set up as LS and GS460

I need to have this done. My fluid is clear, but it's 9 years old, I used one of those cheap testers, and it barely read 3%.

I’ve yet to find a good way to bleed the brakes on my Lexus. I think I may even have to remove the bleeder screws to put Teflon around the threads. At my wits end. I tried vacuum method yesterday. Also did not get good seal and pedal not solid feeling. Also FYI -BE CAREFUL NOT TO DEPRESS PEDAL PAST THE NORMAL LENGTH OF TRAVEL WITH THIS METHOD. ONLY SHORT PRESSES. HEARD YOU CAN DAMAGE SEAL SOMEWHERE.

Did you disconnect the battery before starting the bleed? If not did you use Tech Stream to rest the brake codes? Was the brake accuator running while you did this?

As another commenter mentioned, I heard you need Toyota Techstream to do this properly. Maybe it has to do w the antilock braking system(?) Anybody hear about this?

Maybe. I know one or two that uses it and then I also know a plethora or people that does this method on their RCF.

Question does the brake pedal become rock hard after a few pumps and you won' be able to push out anymore fluid??? Also is your reservoir cap on or off the master cylinder resorvoir???
@defau_lt9760

The brake pedal does still move- it just becomes very hard since you have no help from the engine being on from the vacuum booster. If you're doing it alone, keep the cap on unless filling the fluid.

Barry, color is not a good indicator if brake fluid needs to be changed. Since it's hydroscopic, the amount of water in it needs to be tested. That's the best way to determine if it needs to be changed. However, Motul recommends changing brake fluid at least once a year if only on street or after every track event.

I disagree. This dicoloration is after 2 years. This is also past the lexus rcf manual recommendation on when to do a brake fluid change, this exceeded 20k miles. If you ever waited with discolored fluid, you may see rust colors come out which is not shown in this video but shown in my earlier videos. With all this in mind, it was time to change this fluid.

Be careful, you can damage seals if pressing the brake past past the regular length of travel.
