TMC Removal
1. Remove RH body panels to access the TMC.
2. Remove the bolt securing lateral support to fuel
tank. Discard the nut.

4. Insert a piece of wood (2" x 3") between frame
and the bottom of the RH lateral support to
ease access.
6. Remove TMC rod.
6.1 Remove and discard cotter pin.
6.2 Remove locking pin.
6.3 Pull TMC rod out of TMC.
NOTICE To avoid damaging the footrest sup-
port, make sure the piece of wood is well positioned between frame and lateral support.

TMC Installation
The TMC installation is the reverse of the removal
procedure. However, pay attention to the following.
Securing the TMC using new M8 x 30 hexagonal
flanged screw (with self-locking product). Install
the outside screw first.
If pressure is low, repeat steps 4 to 8.
11. Using XPS Brakes and Parts cleaner, clean
TMC area.
12. Reinstall RH lateral support using new M8 x
20 hexagonal flanged screw (with self-locking
product) and new M6 hexagonal flanged elastic nut

Install the TMC rod using the previously removed
locking pin and a new cotter pin.
Bleed the system as per the procedure described
below.
Bleeding Procedure
1. Fill up brake fluid reservoir using BRAKE FLUID
(P/N 293 600 131).
NOTE: Brake fluid reservoir must be kept full to
prevent air from being pumped into the system.
If a lack of fluid occurs, start the sequence again.
2. Raise the rear of the vehicle until the TMC
is level (the rear of the TMC may be slightly
higher).
3. Remove small hoses pinchers and let brake
fluid leak to Banjo bolts.
4. While slowly pressing down on brake pedal,
temporarily tighten Banjo bolts.
5. Pump brake pedal 3 times and hold it.
6. Loosen then tighten Banjo bolts to evacuate air
from system.
7. Repeat 3 times for each Banjo bolts.
8. Apply final torque to Banjo bolts.
TIGHTENING TORQUE

Final torque:
28.5 N•m (21 lbf•ft)
9. Refill brake fluid reservoir.
10. Confirm LPS pressure in B.U.D.S. See procedure below in BRAKE SYSTEM PRESSURE
VALIDATION.

13. Reinstall all removed body parts.
Brake System Pressure Validation
NOTICE Do not pump up the brake pedal repeatedly before doing the validation.
In B.U.D.S., select Monitoring folder then the
VCM page.
Slowly depress the brake pedal (only once) until
you reach 3500 kPa (508 PSI) at the brake pressure sensor.
Maintain the brake pedal in position.
Check the Low Pressure Switch button value on
the computer screen.
rmr2008-032-062_a
TYPICAL
1. Brake Pressure Sensor (PSI) value
2. Low Pressure Switch button
If Low Pressure Switch button is still off when
you reached the required pressure the validation
is successful.
If Low Pressure Switch button turns on before
reaching 3500 kPa (508 PSI), perform the following additional steps:
Perform equivalent of 3 complete wheels rotation
(for the 3 wheels).
Slowly depress the brake pedal until Low Pressure Switch button turns on.

Take note of the Brake Pressure Sensor (PSI)
value.
Perform equivalent of 3 complete wheels rotation
(for the 3 wheels).
Slowly depress the brake pedal until Low Pressure Switch button turns on.
Take note of the Brake Pressure Sensor (PSI)
value.
Perform equivalent of 3 complete wheels rotation
(for the 3 wheels).
Slowly depress the brake pedal until Low Pressure Switch button turns on.
Take note of the Brake Pressure Sensor (PSI)
value.
Calculate the average of the 3 Brake Pressure
Sensor (PSI) values previously noted.
If the average is EQUAL OR ABOVE 3500 kPa
(508 PSI), the brake system pressure is conform.
Clear fault codes.
If the average is BELOW 3500 kPa (508 PSI),
bleed the brake system again.
