brake bleeding question
Im doing a brake job for a relative (rotors, pads, sensors) front and rear on a cls500. After swapping out all the rear parts, i start bleeding the brakes (2 man job, one man pump the pedal, one man bleeds the valve). After bleeding it several times no more fluid is coming out and the resevior is topped off. I hear the abs unit going off and i get a brake warning. Turn the car on, warning still there with abs light on. Turn off the car pump it and let the abs pump go off, turn the car back on and warning is gone and abs light is off. Is this normal? if not what am i doing wrong? thanks in advance
and what is the bleeding order? ive been going LR then RR

On my 126's I use a pressure vacum system to force the fliud through the sytem.
On the 126's you need to keep up 23-25lbs. of pressure to keep the system pressurized, and avoid a problem with the ABS.
On a CL(much newer) I would assume the same would be true, exception being how many Lbs. of pressure the brake fluid should be under.
