Hi Ukrkoz: No, I didn't bleed the ABS module. I would have, but I couldn't find any reference to it in the Hayne's manual.

 

Check the adjustment of the rear break shoes. Too much clearance between the shoe and drum will allow excess brake pedal movement.

Toyota does not list a procedure for bleeding the ABS thus assume there is none.

 

OK, sounds good. I took it out for a drive today and really played with the brakes. Despite the sponginess, they're working very well. I slammed on them numerous times....everything seems OK. However, will check the shoes and see if they can be adjusted. I might benefit from some new shoes as well.
