I don't believe there is any such program that you can get.......you need something like a high end Snap On scanner or GM Tech II.......which is big bucks...

Were you bleeding the front brakes by gravity or were you using the brake pedal(apply pedal.......have someone crack open the bleeder....close bleeder....release pedal......pump brake pedal.....repeat).....

I have had better luck bleeding the system at each wheel with a vacuum pump and fluid/air separator attached(this prevents air from re-entering the system).....then go for a road test, and force the ABS system to apply, by applying brakes hard in dirt.....then I do the vacuum bleed again.....

It'* a little involved, but it seems to do the job,,,,,
