Is there a picture of the shop manual on how to bleed the abs unit?

That would be an indicator that you have a bad plunger seal in the master, usually this is felt as a slow creep in the pedal once stopped and as the pedal is held firm. Granted, my knowledge is from the small engine world (motorcycles, atvs and the like) with only a Single chamber master, I've no clue how the secondary chamber would impact this... regardless, your master isn't performing as it should.
As for the ABS, somewhere in the '99 models the ability to actuate via techstream (toyota software, can be found for free online and the adapter to connect car to PC is about $20) became available, my 99 isn't one of them. So I "bleed" the ABS by doing the normal brake bleed, then getting the ABS to trigger (slamming on brakes while on a loose surface, I have a1/2 mile gravel driveway that works) a few times, then doing the normal brake bleed again. You burn through some brake fluid, but it's simple enough.
