    Replaced the ABS pump with a used one. If the one I purchased has the same or more DTC codes, would this indicate it is a bad ABS pump. I have attempted to bleed using the techstream software, but I get Air bleeding fail. Any in for this or links to the info would be greatly appreciated.

    I have realized I am having an issue with either the techstream software or the mini vci cable? Anyone had success with a mini vci cable for bleed ing the abs module after replacement?

    Have you tried doing it without techstream and see if it works?

    You wouldn’t be the first person to report problems; see this thread about a later model, for example.
    The Repair Manual (more info) cautions specifically against this, since the bleeding will be incomplete.
