Bleed the brake system (see BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING ).
Do the VSA sensor neutral position memorization procedure (see VSA SENSOR NEUTRAL POSITION MEMORIZATION ).
Start the engine, and check that the VSA indicators go off.
Test-drive the vehicle, and make sure that the VSA indicators do not come on.
NOTE: If the brake pedal is spongy, there may be air trapped in the modulator which could then be induced into the normal brake system during modulation. Bleed the brake system again (see BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING ).
