Fantastic guide. These are all the steps needed to bleed, you didn't leave anything out. If anyone has a Pump code after replacing the Pump its probably because you didn't bleed it or the problem was your relay. If you still have the code do more research or go to a dealer. You may also need to do this multiple times if you bled the entire system at the CHS Pump. The car can be difficult to bleed fully and can have air trapped for quite some time. I did mine personally every morning for 3 days and it seemed to fix my codes.
You can bleed the trapped air just from the bleeder valve with tubing. Just put the IG on, no start to build up pressure and open the bleeder. Wait for the air to pass thru, and close it.
I changed my coolant control valve and I'm not being any fluid coming out of the bleeder valve. I ran the ICE for more than 30 minutes with the valve open, but coolant didn't come through the hose on the bleeder valve. Any insight on why?
Can you just turn in the car to run the pump instead? Also where's the video that shows how to to drain the coolant? Before you got to the bleeding step?

My man! What a great tutorial. I'm about to change the coolant flow control valve and this will be done along with it. Thanks!

I am not getting heat after replacing the coolant, probably due to the air bubbles. I'll try it. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks brother this was super helpful!
I do wonder though. How did you get all that coolant out of the funnel once you realized it was completely full? I made quite a mess
Tubing size for bleeder should be 3/16 inside diameter. It’s a nice snug fit.

What size tubing did you use on the radiator bleeder valve?
Its 1/4th in tubing. Can get it for about $5 per 2 feet where I live, some places have it cheaper.
