Whoops...first brake fluid change on my own...I forgot to energize the ABS system...how badly did I goof? BTW...old fluid was really clean & such...I think I was a little zealous in my DIY timing.
No, you don't need to energize the ABS pump UNLESS you let air get into the system. The object is to push as much fluid as possible w/out sucking any air into the system.
Good info on the ABS pump IF you do induce air though, I didn't think it would be that easy to get out.
