You have to bleed the whole brake system. https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...e_Bleeding.htm

Step one:

Buy a Motive brake bleed unit.

You will be bleeding your brakes every year and will need the Motive brake bleeder.

Yes, you'll have to bleed every corner of the car in the proper sequence and pray that there's no air trapped in the ABS/DSC unit. If there is air trapped in the unit, you'll need either INPA or ISTA to activate the DSC bleed procedure otherwise your brakes will be spongy no mater how many times you attempt to mechanically bleed them.
