2005 Yukon brake bleeding

[imiceman44]

It occurs to me that with a non-clamping brake, the ABS will never need to actuate at that corner. AFAIK, the traction control can apply the brakes (and I activated it several times), but I don't know if that's the same action as cutting brake pressure. This doesn't seem like a control module failure, more like a mechanical issue inside the "pump" section. Even junkyard pulls aren't cheap and that swap means inevitable DOT-3 shower, then hours of bleeding, but that may be where this is headed.

I am guessing those parts are different from my 2003 3/4 ton HD avalanche?
I am parting it in case you can use any of it.

since the abs has been activated do another service bleed and test drive. There was air in the abs module, probably water too, now you can get both of those unwanted out of the system.

I don't know if 1500 or 2500 makes any difference, but traction control does. This appears to be the JL4 active brake control. It has 6 lines coming into it, while the more common setup has 5 lines (mine has the rear brakes separate, where the simpler one has a Tee for the rear). I haven't found any evidence the tuning/action is different whether in pickup, Tahoe, Avalanche, etc. I've been using interchange 545-01892, which lists 04-06. My '03 2500 has exactly the same controls, so who knows?

I still can't bleed that corner, but I can push fluid up from the back. I was thinking more bleeding is mandatory after my stunt pushing shop air through it.
