  A: Start the Hydraulic Control Assembly servicing procedure by disconnecting the battery ground cable. You should proceed to disconnect the electrical connector through the release tab. All exposed ports should receive plugs as a prevention method against brake fluid leakage during the process of removing brake lines from the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU). The service begins with bolt removal from the HCU then lifting away the entire unit. Handler must exercise caution with brake fluid because it contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols which are harmful substances and should be avoided from entering eyes while handling the solution always requires complete handwashing procedures. The eyes require running water flushing for 15 minutes during a brake fluid exposure before you should seek professional medical help in case the irritation continues. Receive medical assistance immediately after ingesting brake fluid and follow it up with water consumption and vomiting procedure. Spilled brake fluid should receive immediate water washing since it poses a risk to painted and plastic materials. It becomes essential to perform hydraulic brake system bleeding after installing the HCU into a vehicle.

The HCU installation will be finished by performing the reverse operation for removal.
