what's the order to bleed the brakes on my '03 4Runner? Right rear, left rear, right front, left front? I can't get the right rear bled properly. When I crack open the bleed screw no fluid comes out when the pedal is depressed.

I'm kinda particular about the brake pedal feel as I autocross and road race (not the 4Runner) so while I was rotating the tires this past weekend I decided to bleed the brakes.

 

If your 03 has the same electric brake booster as the 01/02's then you have to have the ignition switched on to get any pressure at the rear brakes.

 

What he said. You have the order correct.

 

Haha, sorry to bump an old thread. I had to share just how amazed I was once I figured out the ignition switch had to be in the ON position, and then found that the fluid gets auto pumped out of the bleeder screw. It even sounded like a faucet running! Even more amazing was the warning beep telling me to stop and refill the MC reservoir before moving along.

Just amazing! I've bled brakes a million times on different cars, but this was just too awesome to keep to myself. Too bad it only does it for the rears. Filling up a 16oz bottle that quickly was just all kinds of cool...

 

Thanks for bumping this thread. I must have missed it the first time around, and didn't know about that feature on the brake system. Good to know.
