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.

It’s more likely because the front and rear brake fluid circuits get fluid from different areas of the brake fluid reservoir. There is a shallow divider between the front and rear fluid intakes in an attempt to keep some fluid available to the front or rear in the case of a fluid leak on either the front or rear.
