Are you saying that the new brake fluid does not mix with any in the ABS valve body after doing the flush and driving around?

How much fluid does the valve body contain?

How would air get into the system unless you've done a fluid change improperly (or a part has broken)?
Only a small amount mixes with the fluid in the entry ports of the ABS/DSC valvebody.

There's only a few ounces total volume in the ABS/DSC valvebody but brake fluid is EXTREMELY hygroscopic and readly absorbs ANY moisture (even humity in the air).

Some end up with air in the module by not properly maintaining fluid level during a brake bleeding procedure and introducing air into the valve ports.
