Volvo 850 ABS light after brake fluid flush

Post by Baptiste1106 »

Anyone know why the abs light would come on after a brake fluid flush? I used the motive power bleeder, not the pedal bleed process.

@rspi ..... i did notice air bubbles coming from only the rear drive side. Bubbles were endless so i moved on. Car brakes/stops fine. Any reason why air would only come from one side?

I have no idea. The bleeding order is, RR, LR, RF, LF. I would drive it for a week or 300 miles, then bleed the calipers, and see if that helps.
