Bleeding The ABS Module

If it doesn't work it's not a big deal I can use this code scanner for other things.

 

Please post up your results!

 

I definitely will. Bought it off of eBay it showing it should be delivered by January 7th

 

I went thru the instructions manual and downloaded the app. It doesn't mention anything about abs

 

It's showing ABS bleed in this description.

 

The other thing I, reading is u need to buy a key for each car it's used on. Smh

 

Yeah it's $15 per manufacturer. You get one free with the purchase of your

Autel AP200. It just happens that we have 4 Toyotas in the family and it works on all of them. It will still read any erase codes for all different manufacturers but if you want specific Diagnostics you need to pay for the other manufacturers at $15 a piece

 

I got my Auto

AP200 in the mail yesterday and unfortunately it will not do the Abs auto brake bleed as it showed on the website. I emailed the company to find out if there's an update that I'm missing I'll keep you posted.

 

Bummer! Thanks for the follow up keep us posted

 

So I've been going back and forth with Autel and they had to check with their engineering department to find out if the

Autel AP200 can Auto bleed my ABS module to remove air out of the solenoids for each wheel on my 2007 Toyota Tacoma. They wanted to be certain and asked for my VIN number which I gave them. I did a screenshot of the email I received from them. I may have possibly performed one of the steps wrong. I'm not sure, this was my first time using the device. I will try again this weekend to perform the auto bleed and see what happens. Stay tuned...

 

Any updates?

 

I was told buy a representative from Autel that it should be able to do the auto bleed on my truck so he asked for my VIN number which I gave him. After checking with his engineering department they informed me that it does in fact do the auto bleed on my truck. I plugged it back in and I seen that there was an update which I downloaded then, tried the auto bleed again with no success. he said he would talk to his engineering department again. This was two days ago. yesterday he sent me a message saying he was sorry for the delay but they are looking into the matter. Hopefully I'll get some positive news back. I'm assuming it's a software issue, or maybe I have a faulty unit. Not sure yet but I'll keep you updated as soon as I find out more.

 

Any updates? My truck is due for another brake fluid flush, and this interests me. I’ve always done the standard flush procedure. If there’s a way to flush ALL of the fluid out of the system, including the ABS unit, I’d like to do so. ‘06 V6

 

I went back and forth with autel support and they assured me that I can do an ABS Auto-bleed on my 2007 Toyota Tacoma. They told me to update it to the new software that was available which I did. Still it showed that my truck was not supported. I just gave up on it.

 

So what did you end up doing? Did you take it to a local shop or dealership? I have spongy brakes and sometimes they will lightly apply themselves on the highway. I have replaced almost every brake component and have not touched the ABS module which I plan on have it scanned even though I don't have a ABS or BRAKE lights

 

i have a vacuum pump for brake lines. which can also run off a compressor. i run a whole bottle of fluid thru the entire system. mines works fine now

 

Excuse me sir, this is TW. We use old paper clips around here for our jumper wires.

 

Whoa calm down there bud, not all of us are that fancy with your high-quality "paper clips". Us regular folk use twisted-up gum wrappers, like god intended.

 

you can get the air out of the ABS by slamming on your brakes on a slippery surface and allowing the ABS module to activate which will push the air out of the module and into the lines lol… you must bleed the air out of your brake lines then.

 

Them Autel boys told me the MaxiCheck would work on my '07 as well. I think someone here recommended it in a different thread.

Yeah it doesn't.

Edit: It doesn't do auto-bleed because my '07 doesn't support auto-bleed. Even Techstream wouldn't do it. What it will do is allow you to manually activate each solenoid which you can bleed (you need 2 people, or a 1-way check valve on the bleeder). Activate the solenoid while the bleeder is open and you're slowly depressing the pedal, you'll feel it give (there's a delay so activate it at the top of the pedal). I found most of my air was in the Hold solenoids (ex SRLH = Solenoid Rear Left Hold).

If there's lots of air in your rears, they will never lock up using the dirt road method (although my master was bleeding by on the rears. 2 problems at once! YMMV).
