A Look into the DSC Brake Bleeding Routine
It's pretty commonly mentioned that there's a "DSC bleed" that's sometimes needed on these BMWs, but I didn't see any information out there actually showing the process. On the surface it sounds pretty simple, use a scanner device or ISTA to activate the DSC module and bleed fluid, but the routine is actually more complicated than that. I'll show you below what the routine looks like in ISTA.

Thanks for this, I had looked for something like this last March/April may when I switched out the brake lines but didn't find anything. I had started to try to figure out the process myself but then also turned out the USB network adapter I had was broken so I gave up (regular bleed process was good enough). I'll try out this process this year before my track season really starts up (sadly delayed cause of Canada's poor COVID-19 3rd wave).
Do you have a rough estimate of how much brake fluid is used during the DSC process? I.e. if you're just filling the reservoir with fluid and not putting fluid in the pressure bleeder are you likely to need to refill? I'd obviously refill as necessary during the pre-DSC bleed/flush, and it's easy enough to refill after the DSC process and before the final bleed (although I can't imagine that requires much since everything should be pretty clear). |
