ABS bleeding using diagnostic tools?
One criticism of the pscan.eu tool is that it does not yet support the bleeding mode of the ABS controller.
I now have better access to cars to develop on, as well as a real T4 to try things out. The bleeding mode on the ABS controller worries me though. Can it do any harm to a car that doesn't have air in the brakes? The car that I have access to doesn't have anything wrong with the brakes and so I am I little reticent to try this out. |

I use a Delphi 150e to activate the abs pump to bleed.

The Bearmach Hawkeye (3rd party LR diags) also incorporates this function and from memory it doesn't give any warnings about use - as this bit of kit is designed for owners/hobbyists rather than trade, I'd expect it'd flag something up beforehand if likely to cause any damage. Mind you, I'd expect the software includes some logic to check that the vehicle is stationary before it ran that procedure!
