After watching your video on replacing a master cylinder I wonder is there anything different you do for a ABS system?
My 2007 Kia Rondo, 190k miles, One day failed to stop at a Stop sign after the pedal went straight to the floor.
No signs of leakage on any of the brake cylinders or lines.
I was told that after installing it myself that I would need a dealership to hook it up to a computer to "Bleed" the master cylinder.
I've never heard of such a thing but I've never own a Kia before.
I've googled it and only found one video, so far, that mentions you have to do that with an ABS system.
What's your thoughts?
Thanks,
Tim
I wish I still had my 67 Oldsmobile!
From my understanding kinda a misconception, it can make the job easier though. Unless your car has a electronically controlled "E" brake then there is no need for a scan tool just don't dry out the module and you be good. Yes some cars need to "detach the calipers" or to be put into a "service mode" but that's like newer cars... Certainly not a 2007. Congrats on a 190k mile kia. I would avoid the dealer.
Thanks, I think I forgot to mention it had the engine replaced due to the timing belt jumping.
If the air gets into the ABS module, you need to bleed it and for that, you need a dealer level scan tool.
I got a scanner from Amazon that does the ABS module bleed so for now avoiding a dealership visit
