AV-SCANNER / Service function guides / Brakes
This Auto Veteran guide delivers a complete, professional workshop procedure for running the automated anti-lock braking system (ABS) bleed sequence after the hydraulic circuit has been opened for component replacement or repair. It is written for working mechanics and experienced DIYers who already understand base brake bleeding and now need to purge air from the ABS modulator and its internal valves using a scan tool. You will learn how the ABS hydraulic unit traps air, how to prepare the vehicle and tooling safely, and how to execute the full automated bleed routine step by step. By the end, you will be able to verify a firm pedal, confirm correct valve operation, and complete the aftercare that prevents comebacks.
Guidance is general and covers many makes. Exact procedures and values vary by model, so confirm them in the factory service information for your vehicle.
