3400 [Integral ABS] Draining brake
system
3400 [Integral ABS] Draining wheel cir-
cuit
L Note:
The Integral ABS brake system has four independ-
ent brake fluid circuits.
These are drained, bled and filled separately.
The control circuit leads from the handbrake / foot-
brake cylinder to the pressure modulator.
The wheel circuit leads from the pressure modulator
to the brake caliper. Pressure in this system is
boosted by a pump.
