I have a 2000 olds Alero and i just finished installing my MPracing big brake kit i bled the brakes everything was good but as soon as i turn the car on i the peddle goes to the floor and wont build pressure.So after bleeding the front brakes 4-5 times i tried bleeding the whole brake system and the fronts and rear driver side bleed like there supposed to but the rear pass caliber does nothing no air or fluid come out so im stumped and need help trying to figure out whats going on.I also have the ABS light and trac light on i didnt have my scanner at my parents house so i have no idea what codes are coming up but i will check tomorrow and post an update.

did you bleed the abs module?
You shouldn't have to bleed the ABS module unless it got replaced or the MC reservoir went dry.
.
make sure there is fluid and bleed in the correct sequence. at this point, you need to bleed the abs. cheap way, fill system with fluid, do regular bleeding till fluid comes out all corners, then drive and make abs engage, then bleed again.
gravity bleed the pass rear until some fluid comes out. Then bleed complete system again.

i assumed the worst
try the gravity bleed first. just leave the bleeder valve open on that wheel and keep the res. topped off until you see fluid coming out. maybe let it sit for a little while.
unsure what the N-body abs module looks like, but i can't imagine it being all that different than the J one. if its anything like the J one it's got 2 bleeder valves on the front of the actual module. to bleed the system on a J you have to turn the ignition to the on pos. and let it sit for a few seconds. do it again. then pump the pedal up, hold pressure and bleed the module the same you would brakes. start with the rear most bleeder valve. then bleed all 4 wheels again.

The reservoir didnt get completely emptied there was like 1/8th of an inch of fluid when i realized it need more fluid but ill try bleeding the ABS tomorrow and post updates thanks for the help guys.
