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.
Let us know what happens.
