Default Brake Fluid swap

Going to swap out my brake fluid and wanted to confirm the procedure. Never done this with a car that has ABS, so I'm not sure if there is more to the procedure.

procedure

suck the reservoir dry
ADD new brake fluid
crack one corner's bleeder and use a stadard brake pedal pump procedure which being careful not to introduce air into the line.
When new fluid comes out, tighten bleeder and move to the next wheel.
Always be sure the reservoir has ample New fluid.

Once all wheels have been done, go around one more time for a "feel good just to be sure" bleed. same procedure, but much quicker since all the old fluid should be out.

Not sure if the ABS pump has its own procedure...

thanks

You are right on the mark. I wouldn't worry about rechecking them unless they feel a little soft. As for the ABS, don't wory about it unless you allowed air to get into the ayatem which is hard to do.
