There are tools available that can do it for most cars, it's kinda like hooking up an OBD-II code reader (same socket), but the tool talks via CAN to the ABS computer and can instruct the ABS to purge itself, etc. This tool: ActronŽ does it for ~1996-2005 domestics, but probably doesn't cover our car. Or you can just have the dealer do it.
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Unfortunately I think I'm going to have a hard time convincing them to bleed the brakes even if I offer to pay for it. They're acting all suspicious now, the service writer walked around the whole car checking it out, looking for what I don't know ... signs of abuse maybe? I drive my car hard but I don't abuse it.
