The brake lines between the master cylinder and the antilock brake system module are routed higher than the master cylinder. If air enters the system it will travel to this high point if the system is opened for a repair. The technician will need to perform an automated bleed procedure using the scan tool to ensure all the air is purged out of the hydraulic system.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10127224-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10127224-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10127224","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"IMPALA","year_from":2006,"year_to":2016,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2006_chevrolet_impala","2007_chevrolet_impala","2008_chevrolet_impala","2009_chevrolet_impala","2010_chevrolet_impala","2011_chevrolet_impala","2012_chevrolet_impala","2013_chevrolet_impala","2014_chevrolet_impala","2015_chevrolet_impala","2016_chevrolet_impala"]},{"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"MONTE CARLO","year_from":2006,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2006_chevrolet_monte-carlo","2007_chevrolet_monte-carlo"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
