Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

[Caman96]

ABS is just a useless gimmick and a crutch for not knowing how to drive and maintain control of your vehicle anyway.

Very Damned Few people can genuinely control their braking foot when the chips are down and the adrenaline is squirting.

I couldn’t disagree more.

In over 40 years of driving I have NEVER had to engage ABS. mainly because I watch where the hell Im going and not playing with the stereo or phone.

You just jinxed yourself!

I engage ABS practically every day and certainly every week from mid-November to early-March, earlier and/or later in the year depending on the winter weather. Usually but not always intentionally, to judge coefficient-of-friction between tires and icy road. Better to poke the brake pedal and listen for the ABS rattle on the straights, than to be caught by surprise on the curves.

As a Canadian who live in a province that doesn't salt our roads (we have WAY less rust than Ontario or Quebec), I couldn't live without it. My 4WAL has definitely saved me from a crash at least once. Even with fully studded hakkapeliitta tires, the icy conditions in my mountainous town are treacherous at times. Big fan.

To each their own. My parents seemed to survive without it, so did my grand parents. Ill take my chances.

My race team runs the factory ABS system on our E36 BMW. You can't outperform it. Stand on the pedal and let it do its job.

I tried a new to me Snap-On Solus Pro, running 17.2 software on the Aluminum RWAL in my 1994 GMC K1500 today. The scanner gave the following message:

"1) No Special bleeding procedure is required for this ABS system. Factory recommends bleeding r-rear first, then l-rear, r-front & l-front."

Wow, if Finnish ice/snow tires aren't good enough... that's bad winter!

I was sure that I was digging through a 93--94 service manual and it talked about a scan tool for the RWAL.

Maybe I misunderstood, and the manual was talking about the SUVs with the EBC4 system.

I don't remember any more. A person could verify with a service manual for the pickups new enough to have the aluminum-body RWAL.
