I noticed that there was a brake fluid reservoir, and an ABS reservoir. When I am flushing out the system, am I supposed to flush both reservoirs at the same time ?
If so, I know how to flush the brake reservoir, but how do I flush the ABS reservoir ?

 

NO ABS res... its clutch right next to it (the smaller one)

If you are having trouble with this task, may I suggest you get a Helms or other comparable service manual.. it could save you THOUSANDS.

 

ABS reservoir is over by the ABS pump/accumulator/valve/thing...

There's a bleed screw pointing straight up, put a hose on it & open it very slowly. There's a lot more pressure there vs. the calipers. It'll flow out an ounce or so, then close it. Turn on the key so the ABS pumps back up. I don't remember whether you have to actually start the engine. Repeat till the reservoir is sorta empty. Fill the reservoir & repeat some more till fresh fluid comes out the bleeder screw.

I think there was something about waiting 20 or 30 seconds between bleeding cycles, so the ABS motor doesn't overheat. But I'm not really sure about that...

edit for Chris...
Yes it's in the Helm book for my '95. My '98 Accord doesn't have a separate ABS reservoir or bleed screw. I don't know if Integras changed over to that system?? The ABS units look very different, it's obvious whether it has it's own reservoir & bleeder.

IMO when doing a Brake bleed, there is no need to bleed the ABS..

At least for 98+ ??
is this in the HELMS?

 

thanks for the responses guys

 

anyone else ?
