Always start with the basics: my ABS saga

Well after all my searching, reading, replacing the ABS sensor, and doing the BCM electronic diagnosis procedures (which incorrectly told me to replace the BCM), the problem was very simple.
I simply bled all the lines with my little one-man bleeding kit, started it up, and for the first time NO ABS LIGHT!

Hopefully it will stay that way. Glad I didn't replace the BCM!

Lesson learned: Always start at the begining with the basics.

Sound advice---mine still comes on over 65 sustained...still got some air, too. Maybe I'll bleed 'em today.

That's not fair... I bled mine first and I haven't managed to get the light to go off yet...

I guess I should have waited to do that last...
