Took 15 minutes per corner + 15 minutes to syringe the old stuff out and replace - doing it myself.
DO NOT SWITCH ON THE IGNITION SWITCH TO "ON" IF THE FLUID LEVEL IS LESS THAN HALF WAY BETWEEN "min" and "max" (ie keep the brake fluid level "max" as much as possible during bleeding)
ABS System Steps (GUIDE ONLY - NO WARRANTY THAT IT IS CORRECT OR NOT MISTAKES CAN BE VERY COSTLY):
1) Syringe the old stuff out down as far as possible (becareful of the light duty solids filter about 15mm from the bottom)
2) Pour in new brake fluid to "max" level"
3)
Passenger Rear install self bleed kit and undo nipple.
4)
Pump the petal slowly a few times.
Turn the ignition switch "on" position and wait 20 sec for the electric pump to stop.
Turn off ignition switch.
Check and top-up the brake fluid to "max"
5)
Repeat step 4 until the fluid changes colour (typically brown to green)
6)
Do up the nipple and remove the bleed kit.
7) Repeat steps 3 to 6 for drivers side front brake (Ignition switch needs to be on while slowly pumping the brake petal)
8) Repeat steps 3 to 6 for drivers side rear brake
9) Repeat steps 3 to 6 for passenger front brake. (Ignition switch needs to be on while slowly pumping the brake petal)
10)
Switch on the ignition to "ON" and pump the brake petal a few times and wait for the electric motor to stop. Turn OFF ignition and top up fluid.
Wash off the corners with water.
NOTE:
If changing the brake pads on an ABS system MAKE SURE YOU CLAMP THE FLEXIBLE BRAKE HOSE AT THE CALPIER AND OPEN THE BLEED BEFORE PUSHING BACK THE PISTONS.

Others - please feel free to change the procedure etc - this is just a start.

I presume this means there are no additional bleeder screws on the ABS?
I also presume this means you do not have to reposition ABS solenoids with a scan tool?

Hi I am about to change my brake fluid in my 06 NP DiD and was wondering why you have the turning ignition on and off at step 4, also what electric pump is operating during this procedure?

Pajero's with ABS use an Hydraulic Accumulator Booster, not a vacuum system. The electric motor is the pump that pressurises the Accumulator. This is a much better system than the old vacuum system as even with the engine off you'll get about 30 applications of the brakes before they stop working.

As an aside to the process, I've been trying different brake fluids to aid in the temp alarm/TC lasting longer on big climbs. Have found in my opinion that Castrol Response Super DOT 4 brake fluid seems to last longer in the heat of battle on a hill.

Good guide to changing the brake fluid. I'm wondering why you do rear passenger wheel first then move to front drivers side wheel? I always thought you started at the furthest wheel from the accumulator and worked your way to the nearest? Is there a reason for the sequence you describe here as I'm about to do the brake fluid on my 2003 Shogun having just changed all rotors and pads.
Richy that is the order specified in the MM workshop manual for RHD vehicles - why it is that way I don't know..................
