ABS Flush tool kit

[67camaro91NSX]

I was wondering if the ABS tool kit is still available for members to use. I remember that, with my first NSX in 2006, there was one that members were letting other members use with the Acura tool and the wiring with the switch to exercise and flush the solenoids to try to get them to work again. I had an excellent experience with it last time and hope for the same this time. I would pay for shipping to and from. Thank you.

IIRC somebody stole the tool 10+ years ago.

At this point just throw out the boat anchor and upgrade to the S2K setup.

I was the one that provided the ALB bleeder...that got stolen. I bought another one and a local NSXer to me didn't return it.

Then the the bleeder went NLA.

I still have one, which you are free to use at my shop here in New Zealand.

Or you can get a 9mm square socket. They are available. Someone on ebay sells 4 point socket. And someone else sells a whole bleeder kit. Though the kit is made of soft aluminum and might not be suitable for repeated use.


I recommend replacing the nipple bleeder screw with a conventional 10mm hex. You can use a deep socket with a bleed hose. Use locking pliers or a special open style ratchet set.

The fluid can be drained by electrically exercising the valves as well.
The circuitry is relatively simple:

You need to apply 12 V to either the left or the right hand pin of each connector at the hydraulic block. One activates the inlet, the other the outlet valve. Note that the outlet valve opens when supplied with 12 V but the inlet valve closes.

After rebuildong .ALB I recommend the procedure outined in the TSB. Leave the system in place, removing the solenoid dome, removing & cleaning each one, and reinstalling. New o-rings probably not required.

Doesn't require a lot of time, tools, or money. And hose everything off when done

Some notes on the 1993+ ALB and ALB rebuilding in general

The Problem:
The ALB worked just fine: the pump cycled and wheels modulated as expected. No lights, no foaming, and all was good. The fluid was clear as a bell.

The problem was that I had ZERO brake pressure at the front wheels. Zero.

All braking power was at rear wheels only. No pulling to one side to indicate a failed master cylinder. Comparison would be if there were no brakes and stopping only using the emergency brake. Scary driving.

The Long:
Just for fun: instead of replacing the master cylinder: I rebuilt...

Is that TSB available somewhere?

It's in the link on post No. 6...the one you "Liked"

After looking at the TSB, it goes over the solenoids only. Just go ahead and clean out the other side and good enough.
