I'm working on the wife's 07 H3X (170,000 miles). Both rear calipers were sticking causing uneven pad wear, so I decided to bite the bullet and do a full brake system upgrade. Ordered Crown Performance SS lines, Powerstop calipers, rotors and pads. Installed everything over the weekend and when replacing the right front brake line about 6-8 ozs of fluid came out of the line leaving the master cylinder reservoir EXTREMELY low. I started the car to turn the steering wheel to ensure the new lines would not bind at full lock. I then went to bleed the brakes, starting at right rear and was only getting a little fluid out, using a Mityvac brake bleeder. I assumed due to the brake line replacement this was normal. After quite some time trying nothing seemed to get better so I moved to the left front, thinking that I had the order wrong. I had a buddy pump the pedal and the front two brakes seemed to bleed as normal with good pedal feel. I made sure to keep the master cylinder full while doing this. I then moved back to the right rear and nothing comes out but air. Tried left rear with same result - no fluid only air. Dash gives error of "Brakes" when ignition turned on. I checked the forum and found some mentioning about the ignition having to be turned on to activate the EBCM. Can anyone provide help to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks
