[s-cars] abs purge procedure

[Keith Maddock]

Mike -

If you're talking about trying to solve a soft pedal, then a normal
bleed will get any air out of the ABS unit that would have caused
this.  A special ABS bleed would not do you any good.  When the abs is
not active, it's just a "flow through" device.
