The metal line between the ABS unit and the rear wheel could have gotten hit by road debris and bent shut. Or maybe the ABS unit is bad.

Inspect the line for damage first and then run the ABS self diagnostic.

How to run the diagnostic is in the BR (brakes) section, page 48 of the 2001 manual, blink codes on page 61.

Don't have the FSM? download it from here:

When your bleeding are you taking the brake fluid cap off the reservoir and letting it gravity bleed out of the line or do you have someone pumping the brakes while the bleeder is closed and then while there foot is on the brake opening the bleeder?

If your doing the brake pumping method and fluid is still not coming out i would think you have a bent line.

Also if you can't find anyone to help you can grab a one person brake bleeder kit since sometimes gravity bleeding just doesnt work well.

I just went through this. Ur rear passenger line and ur front driverside line are the same port on the master cylinder. Try to bleed ur front driverside line the first time u open it you'll get a little bit out but try to bleed it properly with a few pumps. If u see nothing coming out then ur master cylinder is bad. If u do get fluid from that specific line then its not that.
