This was not my experience.

When my brake lines from front to rear burst due to corrosion my master cylinder repeatedly emptied during a journey. I replaced the defective pipe runs and successfully bled the system with nothing more than Easi Bleed.

Reading RAVE shows that the ABS module would only need bleeding using T4 if ABS braking was activated during the brake fluid leak or if the ignition was switched on during the traditional bleeding process (which would be unnecessary anyway). The reason for this is that under normal braking the only active components are the master cylinder, the pipework and the calipers.
