It's a seperate system in the sense that it will isolate the pedal from the driver under ABS conditions, not allowing more pressure to be added.  the ABS itself is part of the "brake system" which shares fluid and manages fluid flow in the modulated valving portion of the ABS.  These valves are designed to isolate, hold and release pressure to your brakes as needed.  hence using the same brake fluid in the system.    Yes you do see two reservoirs, but they're managing the same fluid.  The ABS reservoir is there to manage fluid during the ABS cycle.  Without this your peddle would pulsate back at you.  But the two are "integrated" components.  It's when you get air into that "second side" the ABS side that you run into challenges in getting the air out of all the valves.


It may be worth a trip to the dealer and have them pressure bleed it, and use the proper scan tool to cycle the valves.



See what others have to say.
