How To Bleed ABS Brakes, DIY Power Brake Bleeder, Pressure Bleeder, Ford Crown Victoria, Or ANY Car.

How to make your own power bleeder to bleed ABS brakes on any car.

I show how I made a DIY power pressure brake bleeder to finish bleeding the brakes on a 2008 Ford Crown Victoria. After running the automated bleed process on my OBDII scan tool I still needed to finish manually bleeding the brake lines and finish removing all the air from the brake system. This homemade power bleeder worked absolutely terrific for me with no problems at all. Nice firm pedal, no mushy pedal here! Again, I used this power bleeder ALONG WITH an OBDII scan tool to completely bleed the trapped air out of the ABS module. I have found that I need both (scan tool and power bleeder) to completely remove all air from the brake system. Your mileage may vary, however.

The vehicle that I used this tool to bleed was a 2008 Ford Crown Victoria but this method should work on just about any make/model of vehicle as long as you have the correct master cylinder adapter.

Thanks for watching.

Auto Bleed ABS Brakes With Your Smartphone – Autel AP200C Scan / Service Tool

The Autel AP200C is a OBDII dongle based device and is designed to be used with your smartphone (Android or Apple). This is the ONLY OBDII dongle system/software that I have found that will allow you to auto bleed ABS brakes. In fact, I believe at the time of this video, this is the only smartphone/dongle system that will allow ANY form of bi-directional control at all. Up to this point, all these OBDII dongle systems available on the internet only display codes and live data, with no bi-directional control offered. This device is also a standard code reader with live data and will reset / clear check engine lights. The Autel AP200C along with the MaxiAP200 smartphone app is a complete code reader and scan tool with ABS Auto Bleed, Airbag Resets, Oil, Throttle, DPF, EPB, SAS, BMS Services, ABS/SRS capability.

Most affordable and convenient way to auto bleed your ABS brake module.

I did a video about auto bleeding ABS brakes with an affordable scan tool back in February of 2018. (link below) At that time it was the cheapest option for auto bleeding with a scan tool. Now, almost three years later, I have discovered this new device which makes it even more affordable, and even more convenient as it’s used with your cell phone instead of another stand alone device.
