    Time to flush the ABS.

    The owner reported that the area around the ABS reservoir was wet and covered in brake fluid so already knew that there were lots of air inside the accumulator.

    He kept exercising the ABS regularly and the ...

    Started the flushing service on the classic ABS and as soon as I opened the
    bleeder plug, I knew it’s going to take long time.

    Nothing came out from the accumulator......
    Not a single drip......

    So the accumulator was completely empty.
    Manually activated the ABS pump and immediately, I found the cause of the

    Went out for the test driving session.

    First time working on this NSX so started with the Health Check.

    Before going out for the test driving session, the owner mentioned that he saw
    CEL in the past and wanted me to take a look at it.
    It was CEL #2 so Rear bank O2 sensor.

    study coefficient before the test driving session.

    So far, no CEL but will keep eye on this as it is not my
