Angry Help please, having trouble reactivating a new SBC unit

I have tried running through the star reactivation sequence a few times. I already bled my brakes and now I keep getting this error. Is basically telling me that the SBC isn't pressurizing?








I am not too familiar with star. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cycle the ignition and lock and unlock the car.
When you unlock the car the SBC system gets a wake signal, that should pressurize the system.

So no go. Still at 0 bar. I am beginning to wonder if I am missing something. I changed the old one out pressurized the system and bled all 4 brakes. Am I supposed to bleed the SBC control unit itself?

I am hearing the SBC motor running for around 30 seconds to a minute each time I try to reactivate the system but still showing 0bar pressure

Double check all your lines going to the unit. I have seen someone mix up a line and it gave a pressure fault. Cross reference with another car.

So you guys won't believe what was wrong with this @#$%*#$% SBC unit.

I ended up going under the hood and shaking the unit while it was actuating and guess what the sound changed and it started sucking up brake fluid... I am beyond words right now...

Anyhow hopefully others can learn from this. Now it is time for a beer.
