Best Answer

When pushing piston back in on ABS, Fluid must be bled off, rather than pushing fluid back thru system in non ABS systems. Dirty fluid pushed back thru Abs system will probably cost you $1500 - 2K. Light will probably be on. You'll have brakes, but ABS light may indicate U have no ABS. I have changed brakes on ABS systems for years and never opened the bleeder to push the piston back in and have never got a ABS light by doing it this way.
