I had trouble getting my front brakes bled also, after replacing the pads and rotors. There would be some pressure when stepping on the pedal, but would eventually go to the floor. It finally got to where I felt comfortable that I could stop the car, so I took it out for a quick drive around the block. For some reason, that firmed up the pedal some, and a couple of quick bleeds after that took care of the rest. If you decide to do that, be absolutely certain that you will be able to stop the car! You accept all responsibility for trying that.
What method are you using to bleed the brakes? Do you or can you get access to a power bleeder?

For the record, the EBCM has no effect on the pedal going to the floor or not. We have a mechanical/hydraulic issue here, not electronic. The EBCM can fail or be disconnected and not affect regular braking.
I'm with the post above. Bleeding technique and a little perseverance will pay off.

You have an interesting problem here. If you at any time let the fluid run out and emptied the resevoir then you will have to get access to a scan tool that has output functions. The ABS BPMV ( Brake Pressure Modulator Valve) will trap air inside of it. You will have to run an automated ABS bleed with the scan tool then manually bleed the brakes again. If you did not run the system low then make sure your old lines aren't expanding on you from the movement of the caliper change. It is possible to have old brake hoses go bad after a caliper has been removed. Good luck. Hope this helps.
