Thank you! my ford cmax got the front right wheel stuck after letting go of the brake pedal. Many mechanics told me that the abs needed to be replaced. I changed only the oil with this procedure by selecting "brake fluid" and my braking system was as good as new. Thanks from Naples, Italy.
I never thought I’d see someone so excited about slowing down! Thanks for the video. Will be doing this soon!
Hahaha yea, it was REALLY bad before since he had only manually bled... Was a bit of a hazard tbh, so getting that fixed was pretty exciting 😂
Great video man! Thanks for the advice, will definitely use this method next time! 😄
Yo bro! Thank you for making this tutorial. I appreciate it. Very helpful. More power to your channel. God bless!
Did an entire Brembo install, plus a couple of fluid flushes by the old manual pedal push method and never knew about this! Also never had a problem with pedal either tbh. I suspect that this method is essential if you let too much fluid drain out of the system.
Well shoots that's good! When I did my stainless steel lines and Brembos I didn't let it get below min and it was still squishy. I'd still recommend giving it a go at some point and see if your pedal becomes even stiffer!
Good lookin' fellas! 🤙🏿
Man that reservoir is so out in the open and easy to get to!
Only because of the aftermarket strut bar 😭
Hi there, nice video 👍 is there a reason to use brake hose instead of brake fluid in forscan ?
Hi please could you help on one of your videos you have a sync bench tester set up using a bcm and other components I have built one and every thing powers up and can do updates the only issue I have is when I connect forscan it has message ensure ignition is turned on I have ignition switch and pats and correct key all came from same car but no forscan connection I can use the profile from my car to make changes but would like to use forscan programming without using my profile please could you tell me how you got round this issue of witch I think is a PCM issue of witch I have not using one as I think the bcm is looking for it any help and advice would be appreciated thanks
What version of forscan is that. I couldn’t access replace hose menu. Just lets me abs service bleed but I have to press and hold the brake pedal
Where do I download the forskin software
Great video. Are there any other vehicles that this procedure is used on ? For example an escape of the same year?
Oh yeah you can use this on pretty much any 2011+ Ford or Lincoln 😁
I have a Ford Fiesta mk7 1.4 - 2009
This car have a famous problem with the spongy brake pedal and low power. Can this tutorial fix the problem ? It's very dangerous drive with this problem....
Thanks!😊
i tried this on a MK1 Ford Focus but the ABS service bleed option doesn't show, would there be a solution for this do you know?
i dont have this option for the Focus rs mk1 :(
Great video!
Thanks! 🤘
I have a usb cable and a bluetooth adapter. Both are Vlinker brands.
USB: more secure. Bluetooth: more convenient.
Which one do you recommend for this job?
Huge.
Hopefully it makes your life easier 😅
I'm a bit confused when it comes to the pressure part. If it's unnecessary then why is it a part of the Forscan instructions?
Anyone know the differences the brake flush makes if you choose a different component replaced?
For example, Brake tube vs Brake Master Cylinder.
It changes the length of how long the master cylinder pumps fluid. If doing the master cylinder it takes a lot longer since it needs to pump all of the air out of the system.
I don't see that replace break line function when I connected Forscan to a 08 Escape Escape Hybrid... Is there any other way to bleed 08 Escape Hybrid?
What OBD2 tool are you using? Only use the OBDlink EX
Excellent video !
Did you bleed the clutch ?
Is the clutch bleed by gravity or is there an option in the forscan to expel the fluid ?
I'll make another video Evan soon showing how to replace the clutch line with a stainless one and bleed it 😎
@@NaviUpgrade I'll be waiting for this video. Thanks.
@@NaviUpgrade 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.
@@NaviUpgrade Have you had a chance to replace that clutch and bleed it? I'm wanting to install a steel braided line but would love to see your video on it first.
@@jamers99 I did my clutch but had a trans shop do it with a new clutch line. My buddy did his though, I'll see if he is down to film a vid on it with me
I have a cheap interface and an 05 focus. So I need the obslink ex to be able to bleed ABS?
That's a great question. Not sure to be honest. I'm not even sure if it'll work on a vehicle that old 😕 I think even the cheap switched adapters can work but I've never tried since I have the EX 👀
This is the best Forscan ABS Brake bleeding video that I have seen on CZcams.
Could you please tell us an estimated amount of brake fluid that is bled out at each caliper? Thank you for sharing and please keep up the good work.
Hey Hugh! I'd say it's about 2-3 oz of fluid if I were to guess! Thanks for the kind words!
Do I need to tighten the drain screw in advance to ensure that the brake oil pipe is under positive pressure?
Yes, but within reason. You could pre-loosen them but I personally wouldn't let it sit for more than a couple seconds before the abs pump is engaged, just to prevent any air getting in the lines from a not-so-great collector tube attachment. You can do this all yourself without a buddy if you use a USB 3.0 extension cable on the adapter so you can take the laptop with you to each caliper.
What version of FORscan are you running? Mine doesn't"t have all those options. After changing the brake pads and turning rotors I have a thumping noise on the front tires that goes about a thump-by-tire revolution. I manually bleed (and did a fluid flush) and did a FORscan bleed cycle without opening the bleeders. triple checked everything was assembled ok and still have the noise, the harder I press the pedal the harder the thumping. I'm running out of tricks. Any help will be greatly appreciated. No DTCs or light in the dashboard.
It's the beta version that you have to request access to since it has module update options. Too many folks were using crappy adapters and bricking modules in their vehicle.
As for thumping... Does the pedal raise back up when it 'thumps'? Did it do the thump before the rotors and pads? I'm wondering if the caliper bolts aren't torqued down to spec. I'm also wondering what it would sound like without load (front end on jack stands). I'd be curious to see if it happens only when there's weight on the hub assembly.
Id also make sure your using a OBD2 scanner that at least has a MS/HS switch but the OBDlink EX is recommended.
una pregunta,,, Por que poner alimentacion en la bateria, no entiendo,,,,,,
Para que no se descargue la batería mientras trabaja la bomba del ABS. El procedimiento es con el motor apagado por lo que la batería no se está cargando y lo más seguro es que se descargue.
Why do you use hose bleed and not ABS bleed?
If I want to change the brake fluid without changing any component I should do both procedures?
Because you're not bleeding the master cylinder in this case. If you run the cylinder low or dry you'll need to do that part 🙂 did hose since that tells the system that it needs to pump longer to get more air out of the system for each corner.
@@NaviUpgrade Ok, thanks! 👍
Are you not pushing brake pedal when fluid is coming out? is the system pushing fluid on its own?
Yep! It used the ABS pump to modulate it vs using your foot!
Does the 2017 USDM Fiesta ST have that same feature on forscan?
Should!
Hello my friend. thank you for the video. my car is 2016 focus. The brake pedal of my vehicle is very hard and when I press the brake, it stops very quickly and harder than it should. Do you think it will work if I do this?
This is going to have the same effect. I would try less aggressive brake pads 🙂
This sounds to me like a vacuum issue not to air in the lines. Air in the lines makes the pedal spongie not hard, vacuum does.
Is it possible to use Forscan to bleed just the front brakes? Or do you have to start at rear then do front?
@zachgroll4230 yes you can do just the fronts if you need - say, if you just replaced a caliper on one corner you could just bleed that one corner.
I am having this exact problem on my 07 Ford Explorer. The brake is nice and hard until I start the car and then to the floor it goes. Will this work on my older model Ford?
It should if the vehicle supports it! Not sure about that year specifically. Can't hurt to give it a shot!
Man I need your help with my 19 ranger. Brake is so spongy . Do I just simply bleed each caliper like you did? No additional steps to make sure the air is out ?
Yeah I'd just do that! Farthest to closest. So passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front.
@@NaviUpgrade and I have to bleed both inner and outer of each caliper?
@@robmijn this was for RS brakes which have double bleeders. Most likely you don't have double bleeders like that. And if you do, after I made this video I talked to a tech friend of mine and she said she only ever bleeds the outer one
Hi I was searching for this procedure. I noticed forscan asked before to start the process to pressurise the reservoir at 1-2 bar with an external pump or whatsoever. You ignored it, am I right? Is it mandatory or not? Thanx
Not mandatory at all. You could do it that way for sure, but the ABS system can create more than enough pressure and it will get all bubbles out of the lines
@@NaviUpgrade thanx, i thought the abs pump on the vehicle might struggle (or get damaged) without the use of the indicated pressurising procedure.
Thank you for the video! I think checking the reservoir before starting may be a good idea.. possibly get an auto fill tank for it for those anxious folks out there (like me).
As a tech nerd I love seeing somebody bleed the brake system using software. 👍
u press brake pedal??
Nope! It actuates it for you. Do NOT push the pedal.
Where do you get the FordScan software?
FORScan.org 😃
@@NaviUpgrade much appreciated.
@@NaviUpgrade what software requirements do you need to access this? Anything specific
@@jessebudelman just gotta have the extended license 👍 I think it's like $50 per year or you can get a free trial on their forum
I won’t lie, this is super cool to me. Haha
can this be done on a 2016 Transit Connect?
Yessir.
@@NaviUpgrade I could not see a choice listed to select ABS Brake bleed. Only showed a reset or calibrate. It may be an issue with the Forscan Data Connector so I ordered a different one. Maybe it will show up in the list.
@@1neleven also try getting the beta version of FORScan!
@@NaviUpgrade I got the recommended OB adapter but still do not see a choice for Brake Bleed. There is a procedure choice for Left Front Dump, Rt Front Dump, Right Rear Dump but no Left Rear Dump. And just ABS calibration modules I still see no Brake Bleed choice. Any ideas?
Give the Beta version of FORScan a shot
Why don't you you-tubers on brake bled replace the fluid in the reservoir first ?
Beats me why anyone would drive a car with the wheels hugging the fender with very little room for travel. I guess some dudes just like bouncing.
We'll I don't rub at all and for daily I have the dampening set pretty soft. Just stiffen it up for track days and that's it.
