ABS/DSC brake system bleeding with INPA BMW

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Steps:
- Start INPA (don't forget to turn the ignition on, like I did)
- Select your car
- Select module (DSC or ABS)
- Select Activate
- Select DSC bleeding menus in the order they are listed and follow instructions.
This video does not contain how to get, install or configure INPA. You will need a working INPA to follow the instructions.
In this example I've choosen the Shift + F3 Front Right bleeding.
Instructions are really simple: top up reservoir, open bleeding valve, and get into the car and push and release the brake pedal as instructed. (INPA also helps with background colors, if you cannot bring your laptop into the cabin, like in case of an older model where the diagnostic connector is in the engine bay. Green background means push the pedal, blue means release.)
Finally close bleeding valve.
Repeat procedure at all wheels.
Extra notes:
Pre-bleeding option (Shift + F2) does nothing just instruct you to bleed all the brake lines with one of the regular bleeding methods. (Two men, pressure/power or vacuum bleed.)
This procedure (bleeding with INPA) MIGHT be needed if you introduced air into the ABS/DSC module. (For example: change of master brake cylinder or ABS/DSC module, or disconnected brake lines before the ABS module etc.)
INPA bleeding at one wheel consumes about a half reservoir brake fluid.
The car I was working on was an E87 (series 1) but you can do this on almost all BMW, even on older ones eg.: It was kind of the same for my E36 too)

    Hello I'm wondering if you can help me out. I have bled all 4 wheels after replacing rear calipers, all of the calipers have fluid runnning through pipe with no air but I still have a spongey pedal and rear calipers won't work as they don't even get warm after a few hard brake attempts. I think I've introduced air into the abs module. I've activated the abs pump via inpa but no fluid or air will come out. How do i bleed the unit?

  • 2 жыл бұрын

    When you are running the program in INPA, you have to press and release the pedals as the instructions shows on the screen, did you do that too? Also it is not easy to introduce air into that module, only if your reservoir went dry (or below some level) during the process. Did you check that you have enough fluid there all the time?

    Hallo Adam. Vielen Dank für dieses Video. Ich habe am Wochenende die selbe Arbeit vor mir, da mein dsc Block leer gelaufen war. Hattest du gar kein Bremsenentlüftungsgerät am Vorratsbehälter? Bzw. läuft dieser auf deine Weise nicht zu leer und zieht dann dementsprechend neue Luft? Die lauten Geräusche kommen einzig und allein vom dsc Block? Wäre nett, wenn du mir die Fragen einmal kurz beantworten könntest :-) Danke im Voraus und liebe Grüße.

    Hallo! Genau, kein Bremsenentlüftungsgerät am Vorratsbehälter, stell nur sicher, dass es nicht leer läuft. Lärm kommt nur vom DSC, so laut ist es! Viel Glück und ich empfehle, zuerst eine normale Bremsentlüftung ohne IMPA an allen Rädern durchzuführen.

    Hallo Adam. Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort. Soweit mir bekannt ist, lassen sich die hartnäckigen Luftbläschen im dsc Block lediglich mit rausspülen, wenn man mit konstantem Druck arbeitet. Dementsprechend werde ich das Entlüftungsgerät während des Vorgangs anschließen und einschalten. Schaden kann es jedenfalls nicht.

    I would do it only ones, after the brakes. But I have a feeling that it does not matter, as I think the clutch line is a separated from the brakes, only sharing the same reservoir.

    Hello Adam, I have an E60 M5. I upgraded my brake lines to steel braided ones and did a brake flush with each wheel. I did it one wheel at a time USING a pressure bleeder. My brake pedal feel spongy when the engine is on, but feels normal when the engine is off. Should I have done this procedure after? Do you think it will help if I did?

  • 5 жыл бұрын

    Hm, I don't think that doing this procedure would make a difference, compared to the pressure bleeder method. You only changed the flexible brake lines after all. Are you sure that the brakes are spongy? It is normal that the pedal sinks, when you start the engine. Maybe take it to a test ride (very carefully of course) if the feeling is the same during driving.

    I am going to be replacing some brake lines on my recently 6 speed swapped e32 soon. I was wondering if this system would work in order to bleed air from the system once the new lines are in place and new fluid is added?

  • 5 жыл бұрын

    Recently I replaced some brake lines on my E36 too, and I used this method to bleed the system. Perfect if you are alone and does not have any power bleeding tools. If you can find this function in the INPA tool (I guess you should), go ahead! (Brake line replacement related: here is a video about using a flaring tool: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6N8zaaJh621pM4.html In the video I used Copper-Nickel lines, but I also used the tool to flare the factory steel brake lines without any problem.)

    @ thanks for the fast reply! My old lines are super rusted and I need to replace asap. As far as I understand this is the process: disconnect each line, drain them all out, form the new lines using the old ones as a template, reonnect new lines in place, fill reservoir with fluid, then use this computer system to bleed the system? I will be using a 20 pin to USB adapter and unsure about using DIS or INPA to do the job. Will these programs allow me to bleed just using the computer or do I need to fit some sort of pressure system in order to bleed? Mainly scared of getting air into the system and hopefully this can bleed any air if/when I get it into the system.

  • 5 жыл бұрын

    @@Greaner762 Yes, the procedure to change the brake lines is correct. Actually you cannot really go wrong if you assemble the brake lines correctly. You can purge out all the air from the entire brake system with this method. You don't need to fit a pressure system, the pressure will be generated by the pump inside of the ABS unit and your foot when the software asks you to push the brake pedal. If you have a buddy/kid/wife to help, you can pre-bleed the brake system with the "two man brake bleeding" method, just to fill up the brake lines with fluids, and then do the INPA bleeding at all wheel in extra to make sure you purge out all air from the ABS unit. If you want to use only this INPA bleeding, that should do the trick alone too. It pumps out a decent amount of fluid at all wheels, so I would say one session at all wheels is probably enough. You can do it twice, if you have enough brake fluid and you are super cautions. Whether you use DIS or INPA bleeding probably does not matter, I guess it should be basically the same.

    when you lift the pedal up woudnt that bring air back into the system? or does the pump kick it back out after

  • 3 жыл бұрын

    When you are doing the two person brake bleeding, the person who is at the brake caliper should always close the bleeding valve when you lift the pedal up. So it's like person 1 opens the valve, person 2 pushes the brake pedal to the floor, then person 1 closes the valve and person 2 lifts the pedal up

    @ yeah but the way you did it you didn't have anyone close the nipple when you lifted the pedal?

  • 3 жыл бұрын

    Right, in that case there was a tube from the nipple into a bottle with brake fluid, so when I lifted the pedal it could have suck only brake fluid back. Also I am not sure, maybe in that state the computer closes the corresponding valves in the ABS unit so when you lift the pedal up it would not suck back air. But to be in the safe side there was that "hose into the bottle of brake fluid" trick

    Hi there, short question, when u press the brake pedal with the open bleeder valve, should it go all the way down both axles? I have an issue on my car (e64) the pedal goes all the way down and pushes fluid with pressure on front axle but on the rear it doesn't go all the way down and also no pressure at the bleeder valve.......is this normal?

  • Жыл бұрын

    Doesn't sound normal, I guess the brake line is clogged or the bleeder valve is not open. It should work with all lines similarly, you practically open the brake circuit, so pushing the pedal is not building up pressure but goes to the floor, and the fluid flows out on the bleeder valve. It's the same at all 4 wheels. Edit: I am not sure maybe, malfunction in the ABS unit can close the brake line also? Eg. one of the magnetic valve in the ABS block stuck closed?
