FIRST thing you need to do is pull the codes off the ABS ECM and find out what's really going on!
Bleeding ABS brakes is a real PITA though, as you have to run the pump while doing it to purge the air out of the passages. $200?! Around here they charge $50-60cdn at the dealership!
Go to any compitent mechanic with a code reader that will do ABS codes.
Find the issues. If the system needs bleed a compitent brake tech should be able to handle this. Charles
