Bleeding the Brakes on a 2006 Toyota Camry
To bleed the brakes on a 2006 Toyota Camry, you can follow these steps:
1. Park your vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Locate the brake fluid reservoir under the hood of your Camry.
3. Remove the brake fluid reservoir cap and check the fluid level. Make sure it is between the minimum and maximum markings. If needed, add brake fluid to the appropriate level.
4. Starting with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder (usually the passenger rear wheel), locate the bleeder valve on the brake caliper.
5. Attach a clear plastic tubing to the bleeder valve and place the other end in a clean container to collect the old brake fluid.
6. Have an assistant press and hold the brake pedal.
7. Open the bleeder valve with a wrench and allow the old brake fluid and any air bubbles to escape through the tubing. Close the bleeder valve.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you see a steady stream of brake fluid without any air bubbles.
9. Move on to the next wheel, working your way towards the wheel closest to the master cylinder. Repeat steps 6-8 for each wheel.
10. Once you have bled all four wheels, check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and top it off if necessary.
11. Replace the brake fluid reservoir cap and ensure it is securely tightened.
12. Test the brake pedal for firmness and responsiveness.
It’s important to note that bleeding the brakes can be a time-consuming process, especially if you’re not familiar with it. If you’re unsure or uncomfortable performing this task yourself, it’s recommended to schedule a service at a professional service center.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Locate your brake master cylinder reservoir’s brake fluid level, usually located under-the-hood. Ensure that your car has the appropriate amount of fluid. While you’re bleeding the brakes, you’ll want to be sure that you leave the master cylinder cap unscrewed but rest it on top of the reservoir.

Do you bleed ABS brakes with engine running?
Brakes are bled with the engine off. A running engine supplies a vacuum boost to the brake system. To properly bleed all the air from the system, there needs to be NO boost. Just pump the brake pedal until a solid pedal is felt, then bleed each caliper (if equipped) until the air is evacuated.
Do I bleed brakes with engine running?
