I'm 99.9% sure my MC is good and there's no leaks. No air in the system.
I'm thinking there's nothing else but a bad ABS control valve. Going send it out to be repaired. Wish me luck.

Picked up a scanner and there are no codes for the braking ABS system. Cleared any other codes and they did not come back. Scanner was able to run the ABS pump and cycle solenoids. It would not do a brake bleed although scanner support said it would. Pedal gets hard after pumping and goes to the floor after starting the car. Still looking for a report back on which scanner will allow for a brake bleed. Any chance the ABS module is bad without any codes? Any suggestions?

Finally figured out why I could not get air out of the system. It was my f'up. I installed the front calipers upside down or left on the right side. Bleed screw is on the bottom.
DOH!!
E brake adjustement and seating the pads and I'm done.
