2000 blazer / jimmy brake bleeding issue

Its a 2000 ENVOY - build on blazer/jimmy platform: (not sure if it has any special systems as a result)

I replaced (spliced) a section of brake line that had rotted out left rear wheel. (symptom was brake light came on, brakes would feel soft and ABS would kick in at the very last few feet of a stop - started to bleed brakes and saw fluid pouring out rear line) -

The pedal is very soft, no pressure and it won't bleed no fluid coming out of left rear caliper where i worked. Wondering if I have air in the abs system - Brake pressure modulator valve? (Bleed EHCU/BPMV module) - do I absolutely need a scanner to open any closed valves? Are there any hand held personal scanners from automotive stores I can buy that will cycle abs unit (solenoids) any manual way of doing it - i.e disconnect battery, pull fuses, turn key on and off and do a dance????? ?

Any tips or advice on how to get air out of system?
