ABS equipped vehicles require addition attention when brakes are serviced. Refer to the service manual for your vehicle for the proper procedure.

It's possible that there is a bleeder directly on the ABS controller unit which needs to be bled as well. It's also possible that you need to use an OBD scanner during bleeding to "set" the system for bleeding.

Note that it can be difficult to fully bleed your system if air has gotten into the ABS modulator unless you have a pressure bleeder tool.

Abs light come on after brake pads and shoes were changed, should the system have been bled or could the fluid be low

You need to ensure that you did not bump/move/disconnect any of the wheel sensors while you were installing the pads.

No pressure on brake pedal 95 suburban 2500 4x4 7.4L

try bleeding your ABS block first, if that doesn not work could need a master or proportioning vavle. Some scan tools are capable of bleeding the ABS system on some vehicles, and some you have to bleed manually.

Did you bench bleed the MC before installing it? If not, that's the problem. MUST be bench bled or you'll always have air. If brakes lights are on, the brake switch is out of adjustment OR (since you replaced the MC), the push rod is out of adjustment

I would recommend checking for diagnostic trouble codes in the ABS system. If there is a diagnostic code C0265 set, then you're most likely looking at an ABS computer replacement. This is a common failure on these trucks. GM calls this computer an EBCM, or Electronic Brake Control Module. This is the controller for antilock brakes and is mounted directly to the ABS pump motor assembly. Last time i checked, these things were going for about $900 at the dealer.

I changed the front brake rotors and pads also the rear cyliners and shoes and bled the rear brakes but not the front because i didnt disconect the front brake lines. So why is my brake pedal so soft? and...

keep bleeding and bleed the front as well the littlest amount of air will keep pedal spongy if the abs came on after doning brakes check the abs lines and connections up front the abs lines sometimes get banged up will doing brake job the abs sensor is the wire that runs from behind the rotor to the fire wall sometimes they get hit knocked into or damaged if wiring looks good have vehicle scanned for code .the code will make it easier to pinpoint what side-- if circuit problem--or if sensor went bad most auto stores offer scanning for free

Good question, on the antilock system is a bleader too and bleade it the same way you bleade the caliper. After all is done adjust the rear brakes, they should have a drag to them.
