Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) System Air Bleeding procedures

Special Serivce Tool

Tool Name / Number Illustration Description
Pressure regulator
09580 - 3D100

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid

Used for brake bleeding (regulating pressure)
(Used with 0K585 - E8100)
Brake bleeding adapter
0K585 - E8100

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid

Used for brake bleeding (reservoir cap adapter)
(Used with 09580 - 3D100)

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid   

• Do not reuse the drained brake fluid.

• Always use genuine DOT4 brake Fluid, Using a non-genuine DOT4 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.

• Before opening the reservoir tank cap, clean any debris or material around.

• Make sure that no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.

• Be careful not to get brake fluid on the body or vehicle and, if so, wipe immediately with a clean cloth.

• Fill the brake fluid during air bleeding to prevent the brake fluid level from falling below the 'MIN' line.

• Close the SST's air shut-off valve first before opening the brake reservoir cap to fill the brake fluid.

1.Disconnect the battery negative ( - ) terminal and the service interlock connector.(Refer to Battery Control System - "Auxiliary 12 V Battery - 2WD")(Refer to Battery Control System - "Auxiliary 12 V Battery - 4WD")

2.Close the air shut-off valve (A) and install the plug (B) before installing the SST (09580 - 3D100).

• Make sure that the plug (B) is securely installed for accurate setting of the pressure regulator and safety.

• To avoid damaging the brake reservoir, and to ensure safety, set the pressure regulator (B) to 3 - 5 bar.

3.Connect the air hose (A), and open the air shut-off valve slowly to set the pressure gauge (B) to specified value.

Pressure : 3 - 5 bar

If the plug (B) removed while the air shut-off valve (A) is open, the injury can occur by hose.

5.Remove the brake reservoir cap (A).

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid

6.Fill the brake fluid to the 'MAX' line.

Specification : DOT 4Capacity : As required [About (500 ± 20 cc)]

7.Install the SST (0K585 - E8100) to the reservoir tank.

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid

8.Install the SST (09580 - 3D100) to the adapter.

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid

9.Install the air hose (A) to the SST (09580 - 3D100), and then pressurize to the specified pressure.

Specification : 3 - 5 bar

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid

10.Open each brake bleed screw (A), drain the brake fluid for about 15 seconds, then press the brake pedal 10 - 20 times and then close the bleed screw.

Tightening torque :13.7 - 19.6 N·m (1.4 - 2.0 kgf·m, 10.1 - 14.5 lb·ft)

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid   

• Following order : RR → RL → FL → FR

• If the brake fluid level falls below the 'MIN' line during air bleed, remove the pressurizing equipment and refill with brake fluid. Then reinstall the pressurizing equipment and continue air bleeding.

• Bleed the air until there is no air in the brake fluid.

• Be careful not to open the bleed screw too much. air backflow may occur.

Press the brake pedal as little as possible for turning on the vehicle.

(2)Press and release the brake pedal 10 times while pushing ESC OFF switch (A).

Kia EV6. Brake Fluid   

• Make sure to press the brake pdal more than 40 mm (1.57 in.) and release it fully to be pressed less than 10 mm (0.39 in.).

• IEB may make an operation sounds while entering IEB air bleeding mode.

(3)Turn off and on the vehicle, then press the ESC OFF switch (A) once.
