Default brake fluid change now light on when i pump the pedal

changed my brake fluid on my turbo ie brake clutch and bomb the sphere, thats the order i did it in
i started the car all well, pumped the brake pedal and all well,pumped it continuously and the low brake fluid light came on and then switched off when no longer pressing the pedal
any ideas why this ha happened as the fluid level is at max
could there be air i the system

Air in the system. Did you bleed it with a power bleeder or the pedal pump method.

You need to use a power bleeder on that system.

i used a power bleeder
When i went back to the car this morning the fluid was higher than max , i switched on the ignition and the brake booster pump ran for 55 seconds after which the level of fluid dropped to the normal max mark
Which circuit would the air be in, the brakes or pressure accumulator and do i need to bleed all three again ie order i bled,brake clutch and accumulator

when bleeding the brakes it says to depressurize the system first, i dont recall doing this, how is the system depressurised
