Go and buy Ford High Performance Brake Fluid. This is DOT 3 fluid but
has an extremely high boiling point. Follow the bleeding directions to include bleeding the ABS unit behind the seat first. If you can get a pressure bleeder it is better but you can do it with a helper pressing the brake. Vaccuum bleeders suck so don't bother. Been there and done that. The fluid you have is contaminated and the ABS and ASR is freaking out. Before you bleed anything get a suction device to get all the brake fluid you can out of the master cylinder. Then fill it up the the Ford Fluid. Yes, I know it says Ford but the boiling point is far abouve anything else on the market. Once you bleed the ABS and it is a bitch since it is behind the seat. I ended up taking the back panel assembly off to get the wrench to the bleeder screw since I needed to connect a hose to it to keep the brake fluid off the interior and paint. Anyway, once this is done you go to the back right and back left and then the front right and front left. Lastly, be sure you get the High Performance Brake Fluid and nothing else. Synthetic fluid sucks and DOT 4 will screw up the ABS so don't do it. I did it and it cost bucks to get the crap out of your system. corvett620 wrote: > I have a 1994 corvette, and today the service asr light came on?
