      Oh Thanks derbycrazy that might shed a different light on the unequal readings I had got. Having only used the tester once so far I have no past numbers to base any suspicions or conclusions on. Need more tests !

          How do I find out if the system is split? Can I just look at the MC and tell? Or is is listed on AllData somewhere? And thanks I will do both at the same time next time. If the car has front disk and rear drum would they be still split front and rear? I agree it’s a nice tool to have and doesn’t take up space in my box. It’s great for instant view if caliper is sticking by watching the needle.

              Yep pedal feels ok so if there is air it can’t be much. The car does drive and stop when I press on the brakes. Fluid level is fine. I do have the red brake light coming on when I start to drive it. I took off the rear drums today to see if anything looked out of place but the shoes have lots of meat left and nothing is leaking. Just can’t figure why the light is on. I rebuilt the calipers after seeing some wetness on the boots. I need a red brake light flow chart so I can move onto the next link to test. I also bench bleed the MC.

                  Direction are very vague. There is no numbers chart to refer to. I do have a red brake light on the dash and I thought I would throw this (yes new toy) into the mix.

                  I was thinking maybe some air in the line would cause uneven pressure? I would think air would be in the lower pressure side. It is possible air got into the ABS while I was rebuilding the calipers and didn’t get out during the bleeding process. Would distance from the MC cause a pressure difference? Right wheel being slightly further than the left. The right was the lower of the two.
