When you bleed the brakes normally the pistons do not operate and I think the ABS is more or less bypassed.
Ok, now that is news to me.

On the OTHER Hand, at tech days, while Nick and Zach are bleeding my brakes and putting pads on, I"m fixing sticky keys and working on car audio problems - I have ZERO experience actually working on brakes.

And the ABS system is a bit of a mystery to me........
