Default Brake pedal low after changing brake fluid.

I used a vacuum bleeder on my '03 Accord EX to change the brake fluid but afterwards the pedal goes too far down. I've done other cars with ABS but this is the first one that had a low pedal after. Do you have to do anything else on this model like activate the ABS?

Shouldnt have to do anything else. Keep bleeding the system, might still have air in it.

Is the pedal low and firm, wrong position, or is it also soft? Was anything wrong before you changed it, or just maintanence?
