Default bleeding the modulator

Hello, I just off the phone with the LR service manager and he told me if i detach the brake lines from the modulator it needs to be bleed and hooked up to a test book. Is this true , i installed a shuttle valve kit the other day and was under the assumption it was plug and play and bleed the tires-and job doneis there more to the jobcaleb

I believe that if you start the engine and hold the brake pedal to the floor for a little over a minute, the ABS will activate and purge it self.

Mike , i did not hold the pedal down when i put the shuttle kit in. i just bleed the brakes and went for a ride to do a panic stop and found out my abs is not activating. Brakes are working just abs is not. I suppose i will get that rebuilt mod you mentioned. So that hooking up to a LR computer and bleeding the mod is False?

Get the exact codes read, then cleared and see what shows up before you trow any money at it.
