1997 Exp. ABS brake bleed problem
I just had to replace all my steel brake lines on my 1997 exp. After I was done went to do a bleed and no pressure builds when truck is running, builds pressure with truck off but disappears when started. Changed M/C but always had suspicion it was air in ABS. Have read here that needs to be bled on a scanner, so I bought an actron plus Cp9410 OCB II but it gives no error messages. Will this scanner do it? Is scanner bad?

You then have true ABS. As I understand it with later systems (Mustang `99on and GM) you do have to cycle the ABS solenoids if the ABS unit has been drained or replaced. The scanner cycles the solenoids for about a minute and then it instructs you on what wheel to bleed until all four are done.
However I would think that on your system normal bleeding should do the job. Have you tried bleeding it with a pressure bleeder? I have heard that a pressure bleeder is the way to go with ABS. Not big $ to buy and only a few $ to make.
