Bleeding can be hit and miss... Work sometime not others, what ever you try. I have found pressure bleed backwards the only way. So you fill your resivior from the furthest bleed screw. That way you feel your pedal come in.
After you have manually bled the system, turn the ignition on & put the ABS module in automatic bleed mode with a scan tool. Then, just hold the pedal down. The ABS will cause the pedal to go up & down several times & will stop when bleeding is complete.

1 Siphon off the old brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir under the hood.
2 Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid (don't reuse old fluid as it holds moisture and will corrode your brake system).
3 Start with the brake farthest from the Master cylinder, usually rear wheel, passenger side. Pull off the rubber cover on the bleeder valve. Attach the aquarium air line to the nipple on the bleeder.
4 Have your assistant pump the brake pedal up and down 3-4 times, then hold the pedal down fairly hard.
5 Open the bleeder, let fluid flow out through the air line into a waste container. (preferrably a clear bottle so you can see any air bubbles escaping the system). When the fluid stops and your assistant's foot hits the firewall (brake pedal all the way down), close the bleeder valve immediately!
6 Go to step #4 above and drain more fluid out of the bleeder valve until clean fluid comes out. Check the master cylinder every time and top it up as necessary. This procedure uses lots of fluid.
7 Now move to the rear brake on the driver's side. Go to step #4 and repeat the same procedures above until clean fluid comes out of the bleeder valve and no bubbles.
8 Next is the front brake, passenger side, same procedure. Then the drivers side and the same procedure.
9 When finished check for any leaks, remount rubber covers on the bleeder valve nipples. Remount all wheels, re-torque lug nuts after 50-100 miles of driving.
10 Start vehicle and depress the brake pedal. It should feel much less spongy than before this procedure. If not, there is air in the system, start over. Bleed everything again.
Note: if you assistant releases the brake pedal before you can close the bleeder valve then air will be introduced into the brake lines. This is no good! Before you start tell your assistant you will tell him/her PUMP, HOLD DOWN, RELEASE commands.
That's it, you're done. Congratulate yourself on saving some cash instead of handing it over to a mechanic.

when you bleed the brakes start from the p/s rear then d/s and so on make sure to crack the bleed screw and not the bleed nut also check the brake booster for correct movement thats what opens the pistons on the master cylinder
SOURCE: the wiper fluid pump is not working. Does it have
yes, it has a fuse. if the fuse is good, check for voltage at the pump itself with a test light or meter.
SOURCE: having trouble bleeding brakes on
biggest problem with bleeding breakes is after each wheel you have to check your fluid, start with back break either side have some one pump it 3 times hold to the floor , you break the seal let bleed off, you tighten the nut have them do it again and again the same way , until there is no air, making sure you check your fluid every couple times, then move on to the next one, and do the same thing
SOURCE: when replacing Battery is there any alarm reset
best way to replace battery is to use a battery pack that plugs into cigarette lighter ,that keeps all your settings when you are replacing battery
Testimonial: "thanks not do have extra battery but the solution seems to be the right choice on some earlier models you had to program the radio 2001ponti bonnevil"
