Sorry, no immediate help here. Just posted in case someone says your warning switch needs to be "reset". As the picture shows, it is self-centering. Or should be, Sometimes it gets stuck to one side from the imbalance that can occur during bleeding. Usually resets itself after a while.

Your 1st post mentioned "vacuum bleeding". I tried that with a Mity-Vac just one time. Can't get a clear (bubble-free) bleed due to air being sucked in around bleeder threads.

Now I use the MV as a Pressure Bleeder—Hose from MV pressure port to adapter in spare Master Cylinder cap, with a pressure gauge tapped into the hose. Fill the MC, pump up about 15# and go at it. Only takes about 3 MC refills to do all 4 brakes.
