bleeding abs unit

Other than a Tech II , are there any other scanners that will perform the abs bleed procedure for the abs unit ?

Can't answer your question.

Just providing thoughts on the need to bleed the ABS unit and options.

Autoenginuity will do that and issue a lot of the other commands the Tech 2 can issue.

Best way to avoid having to do that is to replace brake fluid regularly. I do it every year to year and a half, eliminating the need to push the ABS piston. But if you wait until fluid is filthy, I'd want it done.

Hey Bill, how much that 'autoenginuity' cable and software? Must be similar to the GS-911 I have to use on my BMW bike. It's just a 'smart' cable, and you need a laptop with the appropriate software.
