Bleeding brakes-cycle ABS system?
 
Does anyone know what would be required to cycle the ABS when bleeding in new fluid. I suspect I can take it to the dealer and have them do it. I could also do as I have in the past and bleed, go out and drive engaging the ABS and bleed again. Though that may not be 100% effective.

I am changing up to Castrol SRF and want to get a full fresh bleed before going to the track.

I am considering having a mechanic I know do it, but he is not sure if the software he uses will give him access to the ABS pump.

Just looking for ideas here.

Thanks.

I was able to fully flush mine without anything special. I can say for 100% sure all the fluid was flushed because I switched to ATE Super Blue so it's obvious when the OEM fluid is flushed out.

I just got the Techstream software and cable. I am able to activate ABS soleinoids, but it does not sound the same way it does as when it activates on the road.

Anybody have any experience cycling the ABS/EBC system using techstream for the purpose of more thorough brake bleed?
