    can anyone confirm if the air bleeding function can be done on a 05/06 with Techstream? I thought I have seen some where the answer was no.... but that was a while ago and probably not a reliable source.

    If you are bleeding the lines to the wheels, you have to do it the good ol fashion way. If you are bleeding the abs then you need a scan tool

    Rarely need it, worst case scenario that you need it is when the ABS unit is replaced or ran dry.

    Educate me please. I flush the fluid of my 2nd gen brakes the old fashioned way. Does the fluid cycle through the ABS in normal driving? Is there something specific I need to do to flush the fluid in the ABS. Is this something nobody worries about?
