I've had this happen on an S10 pickup I owned. Air can get into the ABS unit. There are two ways you can try to get the air out. I made a special adaptor for the master cylinder cap to attach a mitty vac to. Filled the master about 3/4 full of fluid (vacuum draw has to be above the fluid thus why 3/4 full. You want it to pull the excess air vs fluid) and put a good vacuum on the system. I then pumped the brakes to see if I could get the air out. Don't be alarmed if the pedal goes to floor, it's pulling the fluid up to the master (and hopefully the air) out and into the mitty vac catch can. If the air is in the front half of the ABS this probiably will get it. If it's down in the vain assembly good luck! You're gonna need to get the proper scan tool and follow the factory procedures to bleed that bad boy if it was like my S10.
