I changed my calipers and pads. I bled the system (I don't know how well) and I felt firm pedal resistance when the ignition was off. The pedal was soft when pressed after I turned the ignition on. The brakes stop the car at slow speeds if I pump the brakes 3 or 4 times. Do I have air in my system? The brake failure light works and stays off. How do I know if the brakes are properly bled? I had no air bubles near the end, but only a bit of fluid would come out after 5 pumps of the pedal. Thanks.

Michel
