Once air gets into the ABS module , it is difficult to remove without a scan tool to operate the apply and dump valves in the unit.


Also, in the normal range of operation of the brake master cyl , crud builds up and if the pedal goes to the floor, that crud scores the inner cups and it becomes almost impossible to get a solid pedal because the master is leaking internally. You may be at the point where replacing the master will be required and if you decide to do that ,,,,you MUST bench bleed the master cyl before installation and connecting the lines otherwise you will continue to insert air into the system and continue to have no or low pedal.
