You will have to take it to a shop that is capable of bleeding out the ABS control module. You can bleed it all day long and not get the air out of the ABS module. It needs a computer program to operate the module to get the air out.

Make sure the calipers are on the correct side. Just had this problem. Make sure bleed valve is on top.
