Confirmed brake bleeding scan tools

[cdone]

So the EBC4 can be bled by jumping terminals A & H on the ALDL connector? If anyone can verify this, I'll make that note on the spreadsheet.

That's correct. Would be great if someone else (maybe with a different model year in case of different programming) could confirm, but worked for me.

It would still be good to know if the scan tools have a function for that for amateurs who aren't keen on putting jumpers on electrical terminals.

I'm wondering now if the Tech1 actually sends a command to the EBC4 to run the function test, or just internally bridges A and H? Seems pretty low-tech if that's the case, but it was the mid-90s too. One day I'll stumble on a Tech1 cheap and test that out and let everyone know.

Did you have any issues ordering from those folks?

I ordered from https://www.obdii.shop/goods-21-GM-...TTbbccATXQei_i_0P4h0WuMmHPRCqQ0caArfbEALw_wcB

it takes a while to get but i haven't had any issues other than refusing to pay big money for a win 98 os so I can try and update it. mine even came with the hard case even though I ordered just the cardboard box version.

Thanks! I see their website states “ the delivery time will be have delays” so that checks out.

will be have delays

Language like that always makes me nervous too.

biggest hold up is it going through 2 countries customs process.

Autonumen vs obdiishop? Same website design and layout, same $50+ shipping. I'd be wary.

I would not hesitate to buy from one of those places. You could try eBay. Use your CC or PayPal and it will be fine. The only down side is that customer support is guaranteed to be zero after it arrives.

There are posts here from other members about buying from one of those two places and they received their package without issue.

Car will have be code ? Try our genuine Tech 2 tool clone scan hand scanner !

Curious why it says “NO Trucks” in a few places.
