Brake bleeding question
I found something interesting as I scanned my Bently service manual. It says cars that have PSM or ABS/TC 5.3 should connect a PST 2 system while bleeding the brakes. My car doesn't have PSM so I dodged that hassle, but what is ABS/TC 5.3 and how does it differ from basic ABS 5.3? How do I know which ABS system I have? If I don't have PSM, then do I have the basic ABS system? Tool pants?

Looks like T/C means traction control and I dont know what "tool pants"
means.

Tool Pants is the screen name for the "old man on the hill". If you come to the forum with a goat, 3 bags of rice and a young virgin for trade, he will give you a taste of his infinite Porsche wisdom. For one more goat, he will post pictures of odd things he does to his porsche such as putting peanut oil in the oil resevoir.

Hope his wife doesn't find out about all those young virgins. Or the goats for that matter.

Hey bringing this topic back up....
I'm new to all this & also noted in the Bentley Service Manual that the PST2 is required to bleed brakes on my boxster s with PSM. Does anyone know if you can just turn off the PSM & do it the old way?? I think i read somewhere that even if you turn off PSM it is still on automatically until a certain speed?!?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hey; while this topic is being slightly revived, I just replaced my brake booster, and had to remove the ABS unit to pull the rusty (internally) booster out. I now need to bleed the ABS and brakes and understand bleeding the brakes, but not the ABS. How should I proceed?

You need access to a PST II/PIWIS/Durametric system to cycle the ABS system while bleeding it. Those three systems are the only ones kown to be able to do this....................

Would a power bleeder cycle the ABS system?
