Hi there. Check the ABS (anti lock brakes) control module for any air in it. Sometimes when bleeding the brakes, the air will travel to locations within the brake system and get trapped. The module needs bleed with the brake system to relieve any air. If all of the air is out of the system, then it is possible that the brake module could be defective. If you need further assistance with having spongy brakes, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
