2000 C5 Scan Tool Brake Bleed
Any suggestions on a scan tool that will work on the 2000 model to perform the scan tool assisted ABS brake bleed?

I have done this twice on my 2000 Car with my chinese clone ( I do it when I replace the brakefluid) on my car.
Be aware that in the Tech2 menu the Automated Bleed is missing when you choose the year of 2000 , and I had to choose 1998 to be able to perform a automated bleed on my car.
I made this video to my Norweigan Corvette friends with some Norwegian text in the video , but the video show how I performed the automated bleed

OTOFIX D1 Lite worked great on my 2002 should work on most cars 1997 and newer. There are lots of stuff on youtube about it.

I used this to deprogram my F45 suspension and saw that it has brake bleed capability as well.
