If the ABS lite is lit, you won't be able to bleed the brakes properly. Also check the proportioning valve.

There is a combination valve on top of the ABS unit that controls the fluid to the rear barakes.

I can bleed the master cyclinder. The bleeder is on the back on the cyclinder.

You bleed ABS the same as any other brake system, except if there are ABS codes, it won't bleed properly because all the ABS gizmos won't be in the proper position. So, don't bother bleeding if you have ABS codes set.

So don't bleed the rear drum brakes if you get the solid ABS Inop light?

Uggh...
