I made this quick video to show an affordable ABS scan tool can auto bleed ABS brake systems just like a pro scanner. You don’t need a 5 or 10 thousand dollar GM Tech2 or Snap On diagnostic scanner (or any other high end vehicle manufacturer specific diagnostic scan tool) to preform an auto bleed on an ABS brake system.
While searching online to find this affordable solution, I also found a few other low priced ABS scan tools that can also do an auto bleed. They are: The Foxwell NT630 Plus, and the OTC 3210
The Foxwell seemed to be the cheapest, and the OTC was the most expensive. TO ME, the Autel seemed to be the best decision because it wasn’t the most expensive, but at least it was from a company that I had heard of before. OTC is a good, well known brand (Originally from my home state) but because of that, it seems that you are somewhat paying for the name. The Autel MaxiCheck Pro was middle ground for me. After using it to bleed my brakes, I can say that I am very happy with my purchase.
I’m sure there are others out there but at the time of this video, these seemed to be the cheapest three (that I could find) with auto bleed capability.
And just to be clear…. I manually bled fluid from all four wheels before and after performing an auto bleed with the scan tool. Once the air is moved out of the ABS module, (with scan tool) it must then be physically bled out of the system at each wheel. I did this entire process twice. And another side note: I use the Motive Products Power Bleeder to bleed my brakes. All other forms of bleeding may work eventually, but using a power bleeder (any brand) is absolutely the quickest, easiest and most reliable way to remove air from the brake system…. Your mileage may vary.
Please feel free to post any questions that you might have…. I will do my best to answer them.
Thanks for watching.

Update 8-23-18: Please see the first pinned comment in the comment section below the video. I did a copy/paste of the entire chat log from Autel’s tech department regarding some viewers who have purchased this scanner and not being able to do the auto bleed. Autels official statement is YES, the MaxiCheck Pro DOES still support auto bleed. At the time of this posting the current software version 5.07, which was released in May of 2018 DOES INCLUDE auto bled.. See chat log for full details. I cant post it here, I tried. Youtube said it was too long, but it IS in the first pinned comment in the comment section.
Thanks!
