Brian, (if that is your name, sorry if I got that wrong.) At any rate, got my AP200 in the mailbox this morning. After about 15 minutes I had the updates, both apps and within an hour I had all the fault codes, what it takes to fix them and the all important ABS brake bleed which I needed soooo bad. The Brake Bleed fixed my brakes 100% I don't pull to the right like I had a new rudder when I hit the brakes. Great Review, and thank you for pushing this product. I could not be happier. Thanks a mil!!!

Finally a person who knows what auto-bleed does and doesn't do. If the system has not had parts replaced , etc. In my experience , just a regular bleed is needed.

Thank you. And yes, I agree.... if the system has never been opened, then air has not had a chance to enter the system either. Auto Bleed on helps deal with air that has entered the system during repair, or brake failure. (such as broken line, etc.)

A regular bleed doesn't do any good in an abs system so when you are doing a regular bleed you're never completely flushing the system unless you use an abs bleed tool.

Edit: The fee to unlock ABS auto bleed as well as the yearly fee to use the feature makes me reconsider this tool as a solid option. That price brings it closer to handheld tools that have ABS auto bleed standard and only cost slightly more, without any additional hidden fees. Autel MaxiCheck Pro Auto Bleed Tool from the previous review is what I went with and recommended over this unit.

It's been so long since I've used this particular tool that I honest can't remember. This video was made over 2 years ago and I've made probably a dozen other scan tool videos since this one was made. However, if you're looking for a scan tool that can be used with your smart device, I would recommend the XTOOL A30-M. It a one time purchase price and you never pay another dollar again to use it. Ever. Unlike the device in this video. A lot has changed in the scan tool world since this video was filmed.

So what would the pros and cons be between AP200C ( phone app ) and the maxi-check pro?

@SlipFitGarage

3 жыл бұрын

The maxicheck costs more up-front because its a standalone device but does not require extra fees to unlock certain features. The AP200C is cheaper to buy and includes ABS and SRS service functions for the first year, then cost an additional fee every year after that. Its also easier to store in your vehicle (its smaller than maxicheck) so if/when you suddenly need a scan tool (on a road trip for example) your more likely to have it with you. You'll always have your phone with you so that part is not a problem. I guess it depends if you plan to use the device full time, or just for the one-off repair. If you have one car to auto bleed (for example) then the AP200C is the cheapest route. If you plan to do brake repair on a regular basis, then the Maxicheck would probably be the way to go. They are both pretty much capable of the same type of service functions. One is cheaper up front and arguably more convenient to use (cell phone based), the other one is bigger and bulkier but would be cheaper in the long run if you plan to do regular automotive work. You decide. 🙂 Thanks for the question/comment.

What is an auto bleed? How is it different from a regular brake bleed? When and why is auto bleed needed? Do vehicles with ABS need to have their brakes bled differently than vehicles without ABS?

@SlipFitGarage

2 жыл бұрын

It runs the ABS pump to get the stuck air bubbles out of the ABS module. Once the bubbles are out of the ABS module, they are still in the brake lines. You still need to manually bleed the brakes the traditional way to finish removing the bubbles completely out of the system. Look for my previous auto bleed video (linked in this video description and in first pinned comment) for more auto bleed information. Also, see the comment section of that video for countless questions and replies about ABS auto bleed. Thanks for the question.

Does the 2022 Tucson NX4 support auto bleed? Remember, the computer in the vehicle has to have the auto bleed software programmed into it from the manufacturer in the first place..... the scan tool is only sending the command.

If you find this device difficult to use, you should sell it and try the XTOOL A30M instead. It's MUCH easier to use, it includes full functionality with zero extra cost, with free lifetime updates.

I'm talking about someone who needs to fix their brakes and get their car back on the road this week. (for example) Next year's update fee is irrelevant to getting brakes fixed this week. If you're a pro mechanic looking for a scan tool with ABS bleed procedure because you do this type of work on a daily basis, then this tool is NOT for you. If you're a guy trying to fix you own brakes, on your own car because of a broken brake line (for example) and you just need to get it fixed as cheaply as possible, this MIGHT be the tool for you.
