FWIW, I've not used the function, but in my Autoenginuity s/w with the "BMW expansion module" there is a function to perform an "ABS bleed" cycling. It is crazy stupid the amount of junk a modern (or even semi-modern) car has which can be controlled electronically, but at least this product allows one to control everything, set all the settings (like rain sensor module sensitivity for example), etc, w/o paying a dime to a dealer. :)
Well how many dimes to you have to pay to Autoenginuity :).

A lot (~$500), but it reads/clears all OBD and non-OBD codes, sets/controls everything, and with 5 cars has long ago paid for itself. :)

My only 'justification' for doing it the "farthest to closest' method is that I use the rear brakes system to push most of the old fluid through (there's always _SOME_ contamination with old fluid if you don't introduce air), so that by the time I get to the fronts and have drained and refilled the MC a few times and I've got a higher probability of fresher fluid. maybe. :)


Ditto for me.
