    I got one an Amazon and can confirm it DOES NOT work on a 2014. I get to the Air Bleed menu and I just get an error that says "Not Support This Function." It also advertises it can do steering sensor stuff but does not detect my steering sensor to do a zero point calibration.

    I haven’t used it to bleed the ABS yet, but I used it for a simple information scan on my Dad’s 2019 Camry and it stopped working with an error message stating that the file system was corrupted and I’d have to download the scanner software again. It doesn’t instill a lot of faith and I’d probably won’t buy again, I guess you get what you pay for…

    try getting in some grass, or even muddy terrain.. and locking up the brakes at speed, youll hear the abs kicking in.

    I already have a homemade pressure canister for brake bleeding that I made with a garden sprayer and dial pressure gauge. I have used it in the past on my Ranger (with ABS) and a Nissan Versa (with ABS) - both with Motive caps.

    To do my Tacoma (have not done it yet cuz of other things going on), I got this Ares cap (18003-43mm) that's supposed to work for Toyota/Lexus (because they have no thread to hold a "normal" pressure bleeder cap):
