Front Brake Fluid Bleeding Procedure

Since the new TLX brakes are Electric Servo Brake system. Anyone here know how to bleed off the fluid on the front brakes? We were trying to ATTEMPT to swap out my stock caliper to the Type S Brembo caliper and found out we were unable to bleed off the fluid because of a electronic pump on the reservoir. So when I turn On the ignition, it throw me an ERROR BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM. Wondering if anyone did any brake fluid bleeding and what is the process or step by step procedures.

Thanks!

In the FSM, the procedure looks similar to any other car. The only difference I noticed is that it says to disconnect the battery. That might be what's causing your problem. I usually use the vacuum method.

Attached the FSM page for reference.

So you DO need to disconnect the battery. Because on one of the Facebook group member he shoot me off an image of the diagram where there is a section where I needed to disconnected the battery but was not too sure because the diagram he sent me was too blurry to see. I will ask him on monday to send me an actual PDF via by mail.

Thank you
