I am having the same problem. The system has been bled twice, the light is still on and the master cylinder resovoir does not engage until very late. I have found a hissing noise which I think is being caused by a small hole in the hose the connects the intake to the master cylinder.

If the E- break is not on but the light is, you have a low fluid level, or air in the lines. The ABS has its own light so you can rule that out. You may have to bleed the breaks 5 or 6 more times since it appears you have changed calipers.

I stopped at the dealership and they were talking about 75 to look at the car, so I just bought a motive pressure bleeder.
That shoud do the trick, and it was 46, so I should save time and money both. I am pretty sure that the air must still be in there too, but bleeding over and over again was not what I wanted to be doing.
