One of the main things I like about the classic (123/124/126 pre 90s) models is
they avoided unnecessary complication. For example, the passenger-side mirror
was electric but not the driver side because you can reach to adjust it
manually. They are maintainable and also indefinitely repairable
Bob,
You most likely didn’t hurt anything. However, SBC systems can activate without
warning, and quite forcefully, which is why you never want to work on a car
with SBC without disconnecting the SBC unit. They can cause pretty serious
injury if it goes off while you’re working on the brakes.
Thanks Dan! It does have SBC. I am going to the dealer next week to have the
message reset. Hopefully I didn't do any harm because I didn't disable it
before bleeding the system. Bob
