Bleed the brakes in this order until new, clean fluid appears...RR, LR, rear proportioning valve, RF, LF. Don't let the reservoir go empty and suck air into the system. Test the brakes, If the pedal is spongy, bleed again to remove any air bubbles you missed.


Ken
Haynes and Chilton manuals specify that the rear proportioning valve is to be done last in the rotation. So RR, LR, RF, LF, rear proportioning valve.

Anyone use Toyota DOT3 brake fluid for their flush?
