Help Need To Know Before Tommarow
#12
Something to consider. When brake linings are replaced, the bleeder screws should be opened before pushing the brake piston back into the cylinder. This is to allow the dirty fluid to escape and not be forced into the ABS system. This is the major cause of a light being turned on after a brake job. Ask the shop what procedure they used for the brake job. Do not reveal that you have this knowledge. Confirm that they did not bleed out some of the old fluid then nail them. A professional shop should know this basic procedure.

From Raybestos
Quote:When servicing disc brakes, open the bleeder screws and vent the brake fluid, if it is necessary to push the caliper pistons in. There is sediment that naturally collects in calipers over a period of time. This sediment, if allowed to flow back into the master cylinder along with the brake fluid, can possibly damage the ABS hydraulic unit
