Need 2001 Accord Brake Bleed Sequence
I'm looking to replace the brake fluid in our 2001 Accord coupe (2.3L
4cyl EX) and I need the bleed sequence. I've searched this group a bit using google but could not find a sequence for anything close to this model year Accord. I'd appreciate it if someone with a service manual could post the sequence. Thanks, Procyon |

I ask since my 99 Prelude Service Manual bleeds as follows: 1) Left front 2) Right front 3) Right rear 4) Left rear This bleeds the shortest lines first (which means it alternates between the diagonal split system as illustrated in the manual). |

It may also be that your ABS system requires such a bleed sequence. If it's a Haynes/Chilton manual that says this, throw it in the garbage and get a real manual. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Should you not also have to activate the ABS to properly bleed the whole
system? "TeGGeR®" > wrote in message ... > "J." > wrote in : > > > > > > Was that sequence specifically for the 01 Accord, or did you intend it > > to be generic for all Hondas?

The Helm manual for my '03 Accord specifies the same sequence, which is what I used when I bled the brakes 2 months ago. |

As stated, my 99 Prelude Service Manual (First Edition, 10/98, Honda Motor Co,.LTD, Service Publication Office) commonly called "Helms" clearly shows on page 19-7 a diagonally split system (ie. left front and right rear vs right front and left rear). The same diagram numbers each wheel in the sequence that I stated. It may be true, as you point out, that the sequence is dictated by the ABS. However, my point was that one cannot give a generic bleed sequence which is what I think your statement to the OP implied. AND, since my "Helms" manual is titled "1997-1999 Service Manual", there was no need to indicate it is NOT the Haynes/Chilton POS. And, yes, I have bought the "real" manual for all my new cars (77 Olds, 84 Prelude, 90 Prelude, and 99 Prelude). J. |
