It makes me think that air is getting trapped in the ABS system and not bleeding out. I don't have a durametric to actuate it. In the past few weeks, I take the car for a hard drive and make sure the ABS kicks on. I've assumed that is enough to purge the ABS of air. But now I wonder if there isn't air still stuck in there....
IIRC, with the basic ABS system, its a regular system bleed/flush. Nothing to activate
