Hey everyone I don't have any DTC errors but would be willing to post a full scan if requested without any issues.
I'll start from the top with my issues and procedures.
I had my light come on saying replace brakes so I purchased my brake pads and noticed the light was on because of a brake wear sensor being broke. At this point I said I'll replace the pads anyways because they had about 6 months or so left. So after replacing everything I love doing the Gravity bleed because it has never failed me. I raised my car on my lift and removed all Bleeder screws from the Calipers and made sure master cylinder was full. This is where it gets fun, Long story short I had an emergency with my chid and completely forgot about my car . Yes I ran the Master cylinder dry I believe, I then filled everything up and this time waited by the car while doing it. This didn't help at all with a completely soft pedal, I then had the wife pump the brakes and I bleed them in the sequence stated in erWin. Still no luck, I then used my Vacuum bleeding again nothing, I then used my Mitivac and again same thing. The only thing I can think of now is to remove the master Cylinder and bench bleed it and then do the normal brake bleeding sequence. My questions is am I forgetting something? Any thoughts? I'm worried I may have introduced air into the ABS system . I do see there is a brake bleeding option is 03-Basic Settings with 3 different sequences to select from but I didn't want to mess around with that without more guidance. Please help me out I'm not a complete professional but most of you know I won't give up and will do what he is told like a good boy . Thanks!!!! BTW I have been doing the bleeding for about 2 days now I will have it sent to s shop if I really need to but I would like to do things on my own.
