I caught mine pumping someone else's brakes.

Good video Steve. I'll be doing the same shortly before my track day, upgraded discs, pads, braided lines and fluid.

Well that's opened my eyes mate great to know you can now bleed your brakes on your own great upload carn't wait to see how the pads and lines perform 👌

Use a clear hose so you can see if there is any bubbles coming out 😉

Always good content Steve love all the different things that you bring out in your videos

How much fluid did you used? And how much cycles did you run per wheel to make sure is new fluid coming out. Thanks

Now that is the best use of a laptop I have ever seen. I wish my car would let me do that. Nice

Thanks for that 👍 New to ForScan & will be trying this on the Transit Custom.

Interesting video Steve 👍

I thought you were kidding using clickbait "bleed using my laptop" - that's mint! Fair play :D

Really helpful video, thank you!

thanks dude, i always forget about my Forscan when i work on my fords. typically just grab my autel, but it hasnt done anything to clear my ABS pump of air since i changed the master cylinder. curious how you got air into the ABS pump just by changing the brake lines at the wheel....

Well yah learn something new every day! Wow. Thanks

Spark Plug Steve it’s a great way to use the ABS pump ,

Good video --thanks

Hi Steve, i wanted to ask you what ELM327 adapter you used and where you got it from.I would like to buy one as well to use Forscan on our fiesta. I watch all your uploads and look forward to the next one thanks Daz.

After replacing the brake pads on a 07 Explorer, the rear driver side brake pulses at what looks like a pulse per tire revolution. I hear the pulse all the way from the front to the back and feel it on the caliper and see the hose moving. Only when braking, no DTC codes or lights on. What could cause this? Anybody can help me? My guess is a faulty ABS module but not sure. Thank you for sharing on your channel Steve, awesome video. You gained a subscriber.

Used to have to plug my Fabia in to bleed brakes because of the abs pump and als adjust the headlamps. Not sure if that's... Progress....?

Hi, I've seen nobody uses the tool so to pressurise the brake fluid reservoir at 1-2 Bar during the bleeding process. Do you think it is unnecessary? Could the misuse of that tool cause stress to the abs pump during the bleeding without it?

I tried to perform the procedure on the New Fiesta SE 1.6 130cv 2013/2014. However, it informs that it is only possible in vehicles that are equipped with TCS or ESP. My vehicle has TCS and ESP. Would you know how to inform me even having the requirements is not possible to perform the procedure ? Thanks.

Great job! I'm looking forward to use this method to change brake fluid in my Mondeo mk5. I've got elm and forscan so is worth to try it. Best Regards

Hi Steve, great video. A question, when I select ABS bleed in Forscan it goes directly to a procedure to bleed the ABS system, I does not give me the menu to select the component that has been replaced, I have a 2017 FiST, do you know what I should do in order get that menu and to bleed the brakes per wheels basis?

Correct me if I'm wrong? I still can bleed brakes fluid by old fashioned way BUT only fluid in reservoir and brake lines will be changed. The fluid trapped inside ABS/ESP will be still the OLD one ?! Y/N ?

Does Forscan have a feature to change the brakes pads?

each side purged, how many ml come out? 250ml?

I have a question boss!! need internet connection forscan for can do that process ?

Need instruction on how to bleed brake using forscan,

Hi does this work with drums on back

hi steve, excellent video, do you mean that after bleeding the brakes the old-fashioned way, is it necessary to use the forscan to get air out of the abs? I did the process but I don't have the forscan and my car now has the spongy brakes (fiesta st 2017 )

Can u do more vids showing how to use forscan to do things

Has anyone noticed that as of June '22 the bleed service procedure has changed in Forscan? Trying to bleed my Fiesta like the video and it has a totally different set of instructions. It doesn't allow you to select which wheel to bleed anymore and it makes you sit in the car and hold the brake at certain intervals. It didn't seem to push very much fluid out at the caliper. Anyone know what the hell happened? I think I'm going to have to buy a new adapter for my power bleeder for this car.
