Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 2002 Toyota Camry. Recently the ABS and Brake lights, both came on. My Mechanic changed the ABS brake pump module and now the light is off. Great. But…when I was paying I asked the tech who did the work if he bled the system of air and he replied that these cars “self-bleed…”

I paid, left, and drove the car around town and quickly realized that the brake pedal needed to be depressed nearly down all the way to stop the car. This was new, so I returned to the shop, where I spoke to the owner of the shop who said that I should drive around for a couple of days and if didn’t improve THEY WOULD BLEED THE SYSTEM AGAIN. I received two completley different opinion from the owner and from the tech who did the work. So, My question is, does my car with ABS require a system bleed when this type of work is done…? Please help:)
