Brake fluid flush on 91 Q45

Post by **Infinitiace1992** » Sun Jul 25, 2021 5:05 pm

Thanks to 3Q Jay shaming me about my dirty looking brake fluid reservoir, I’ve decided to have a brake fluid flush service. I was told by someone that on Infiniti/Nissan you need a Nissan computer to properly bleed the system and open the ABS? Any truth to this or can I take it to my local mechanic for this job?

Valving in the ABS is all "normally open" so mechanical bleeding will work fine, but of course requires an assistant. We do it with the C3+ only because it makes it into a solo job.

That’s what I kinda figured. Thanks for the help.

I’m busting your chops Jay but honestly, I appreciate any advice to keep my ole girl running in tip top shape.

Brake fluid should be replaced every 2-3 years since it's hygroscopic and absorbs moisture, which can lead to soft pedal feel and rust in the system. Dark brake fluid is overdue for maintenance.

Thanks Ryan. I have an appointment Friday to get it done

Does this look better 3QJay? Brake fluid flush service done No bargain at $177 via my local Infiniti dealer but the car was a superstar as everyone in the dealership checked it out.

I bet it was a popular thing to see for folks there!

Looking good. If that $177 saves the seals on your ABS Actuator, that becomes a bargain.
