This how I bleed the ABS part of our 1995 Accord (replaced by the Clarity PHEV) after replacing the master cylinder.Ĭlick to expand.Great info. BTW, I think one can exercise the ABS system by just braking hard on sand or gravel. However, there have been posts on the Internet of people just doing vacuum bleeding at just the four wheels of the Clarity PHEV. After Rajiv's post, I am concerned that I will need to follow a more complicated procedure and also bleed at the bleed screws at the tandem cylinder (on the passenger side firewall). My plan was to do vacuum bleeding just at the four wheels to exchange the brake fluid. If I cannot find anything freely available online, I will probably have to sign up for one day's access to the Honda Tech website. I am still looking for the bleeding procedure that is specifically for the Clarity PHEV although I had thought that the procedure for the Hybrid Accord would be identical. Also, there are no special tools, electronic procedures, or even pressure bleeding mentioned. It is interesting to note that procedure described for the Hybrid Accord does not mention turning on the ignition and that the whole procedure described is done while the battery is disconnected. Then, the calipers at the four wheels need a second bleeding. As well as initially bleeding at the four wheels, the tandem motor cylinder cylinder needs bleeding (at two bleed screws) as the motor replacement opens the hydraulic system to the air. This service bulletin gives the bleeding procedure after the motor is replaced. The recall necessitated Honda making public the service bulletin: Early last year, some Hybrid Accords were recalled to replace an electric motor in the braking system. I mention pictures because I have been looking for the brake bleeding procedure for our Clarity. I have compared the under the under the hood system of our Clarity PHEV to pictures of the Hybrid Accord system and they look about the same. Second, I think that the Clarity PHEV braking system is very similar to that of the later model Hybrid Accord. This might partly be the result of Honda's two man bleeding procedure as described below. An initial comment is that an extra $140 charge for an additional 1/2 hour of time seems high.
