They can be bled the old fashion way. But if air had gotten into the ABS control unit, you can bleed until the days end and still not have a break pedal. That requires a computer scanner to run a program to bleed out the ABS control unit.

I'm working on a 2003 Chevy Malibu that has no break pedal what so ever. I replaced the master cylinder on the car about 2 months ago for the girl and it did fine up until a couple weeks ago. When I got it to my house it had no break fluid in it so I fixed that problem, now it'll build up pressure when the car isn't running, but when u start it it just goes straight to the floor. Any suggestions??
