I am trying to do an ABS fluid flush on my newly acquired 2000 NSX. I have read most of the posts and all seem to pertain to the older ABS systems. It appears as if the master cylinder shares its fluid with the ABS. There are two reservoirs which appear to be closed. The manual indicates that "Brake fluid replacement and air bleeding procedures are the same as vehicles without ABS. To ease bleeding start with the front wheels". The manual makes no mention of using a T-Bleeder. Last weekend I flushed the master cylinder per Dan but within a few days the fluid in the master looked dirty again. Does anyone have any experience with this?
 
I believe the newer 2000 uses a different ABS modulator which doesn't have a reservoir or a separate master cylinder. This new system (which is similar to what most European cars use) works with the standard master cylinder and you only have to bleed the brake system normally for everything to be done. You have the better system which reduces your maintenance and is better at controlling brake lockup than the older system does.

The small master cylinder next to the main brake system master is for the clutch system.

Be happy with your setup. I wish I had it on my 91. :frown:
