I need to perform the ABS bleed procedure due to my two front calipers draining out and emptying the reservoir. (Dumb mistake on my side and my first experience with electronic brakes) I found out that FORScan lite doesn’t offer it. Can anyone tell me a scan tool that does? (FORScan for windows, an Autel scanner…) otherwise I’m stuck getting it towed to the dealership. Thanks in advance.

Quite a few folks on the Ranger5G from used FORScan to do the ABS bleed when their brakes were touchy or had varied results from the same input, so the Windows FORScan has been used for that. Never heard of any other tool/scanner being used.

My Autel MaxiSYS 906Pro-TS was able to complete the scan tool bleed without issue, but you will need a pressure bleeder.

if using Forscan, do you need to get into brake service mode first, then click the ABS bleeding?
