Reverse bleeding in 6th gen accord using MaxPro

[dan jan]

Hi all,

I am doing a break bleeding on my accord , after my last caliper job the pedal isnt what it used to be.I’ve tried bleeding multiple times, mixed results… New calipers are fine. Going to try the patented tool before condeming the Master Cyl. , it was replaced 20k ago.

I am borrowing a pheonix system Max Pro tool,

Reading through the manual has given me a few questions.

1) does the 6th gen accord ( 2000 V4 ABS SE trim ) has an accumulator ?
if yes whats the procedure to bleed it , since i am doing reverse bleeding.

2)whats the best possible order for bleeding?

3) Is “burping” the system necessary? It seems not intuitive to let any fluid come out after bleeding, doesn’t this cause some air to enter the system? Fluid out, air in …. right?

Any other information greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

An accumulator is usually used on air conditioning The
sequence is your preference. RR,LR,RF,LF or LF,RR,RF LL
If you put the fluid in the bottle and submerge the tubing
air does not enter. The system your using won’t be a problem.

I was confused by accumulator as its an AC part…
Apperantley its part of some ABS systems and is responsible for fluid change when anti-lock is active.

Thanks for reply.
