Hoping someone has a scan tool locally that I can borrow to bleed the abs accumulator I just replaced on my 2003 SR5 ? Located in Port Washington,Nassau County ,NY.

thanks

Not sure this helps but somewhere here in a brake thread I read that someone used speed bleeders; here

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/234741-speed-bleeders-who-uses-them.html

and if you want tot do more research put this into a search;

I don't think speed bleeders are going to do anything for him. You need Toyota Techstream to do it...

I don't know if there is a generic scan tool to accomplish the same, but for the cost of a 2 day subscription, software, the dongle required, and the headache to acquire it all...

I was at the dealer, $120 out the door including fluid.

I was thinking this was on a limited budget, and also consider it may be tough to borrow a scan tool.

The good news, somewhere in the 5 page topic on brakes one poster mention they may have gotten lucky in getting through it without a scan tool, of course I can't find the link I was reading, just remember it was 5 pages. I'll spend a little more time looking for it and post the reference if I find it.

Found it on page 4;

Here's the whole thread;

The other good is this post enlightens on stainless steel vs brass;

The bad is I have yet to find a definitive detailed post on the process using speed bleeders.

And one more, this will bring you to the specific post, and if you start at top of this page it goes into the why of stainless steel speed bleeders;

Yes, pretty much. Many folks on here have had good luck with 40 long depresses of the brake pedal with the car off. There is also a procedure I followed from the service manual below that worked for me.

BLEED BRAKE BOOSTER W/ACCUMULATOR PUMP
ASSEMBLY

HINT:
Perform this step only if the brake booster with
accumulator pump assembly is removed and/or
installed.

(a) Turn the ignition switch off, depress the brake pedal
20 times or more to release the pressure from the
accumulator.

(b) Fully depress the brake pedal 10 times.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and start
the brake booster pump.

(d) Make sure the pump operates for 8 to 14 seconds.
If the pump does not operate as specified, repeat
steps (a) to (c) and recheck the operating time.

Thanks for all the research. I also previuosly read all those threads. I already rebuilt my brake system,new front larger calipers with the larger 328mm rotors, SS lines and pads( front and rear). Bleed the system and everything was working well untill my master cylinder started making this screetching noise.
So I sourced a low mileage accumulator and a rebuilt(with new OEM Toyota parts) ABS motor. Im getting ready to swap them in.
For me I figured Id give it a shot and try and bleed the system right the first go around ,especially if all I needed to do was borrow the scantool. Not looking like Ill get one to use so Ill probably follow the directions and try to bleed like the thread instructs.
thanks
again!

Your welcome too, I was recently looking into flushing brake fluid and trying to figure it all out.

I thinking use the speed bleeders, the long tube trick, and keep the brake fluid reservoir full, I hop'in that covers it and praying one smarter that I comes along and enlightens us, here and soon would be good. But I think I going to go ahead and get the stainless steel speed bleeders and keep studying the issue for now.
