ABS gurus... I need some help.
'90 model w/ c5 brake upgrade, new brake booster and master cylinder w/ bias spring
Problem.... I have bled and bled the brakes all the way around in accordance with the Helms manual. I still have a soft pedal, good enough to drive, but not that great and I need to fix it right.
I have an abs light, how do I pull the codes. Also I think it is the lateral acceleration sensor, because when I bumped it the abs light went off, could this sensor cause the soft pedal?

You need a Tech I or II scan tool to pull codes and to properly bleed the ABS. I use a pressure bleeder . I think they do a better job.

ABS Codes:
On the 1990 and 1991 model shorting pin "H" to pin "A" will cause the ABS light to flash ABS codes. (Beginning in 1992, there is another technique which is explained below).
