12' Gecko Build

[jeeeep]

Rancho through another 4 rounds of the JScan ABS bleed. Im at the mercy of how long my wife will sit and hold the pedal for me. I didn't visually see any air come out the lines BUT there was a sizeable increase in pedal firmness. First 1/3rd is still super soft second third it picks up some stiffness and last third is decent. Still not what I would call good or done but at least I'm finally trending in the right direction and seeing results

making progress!

take it out and slam on the brakes to activate the ABS, take some fluid to add to the reservoir if it drops any then do it again.

Just make sure you have a tailgate when you do it. You can tell the officer you were just testing his reaction time. Lol

Dont you have to immediately bleed the calipers after doing that?

I didn't on my JKU, I could hear a pump running, took it on a side road, slammed on the brakes to activate the ABS and it worked.

about a week later I did a motive brake bleed with the diagnostic tool ABS bleed, and they firmed right up.

Another thing, sitting dry for that long may have affected the master and there's a chance it needs replacing
