Check if there is still air in the system. Press down the brake pedal using a jack at a pressure equivalent to heavy braking, 200 Nm  . With the engine off and the brake pedal depressed 3-4 times, the pedal travel must not exceed 40-mm.

If the pedal travel exceeds this limit, bleed again and re-check the pedal travel.

Check that no leakage occurs from the brake nipples, hoses and joints.

Remove the bleed unit connector from the brake fluid reservoir.

Check that the brake fluid level is not above maximum.
