NT630 Elite doesn't appear to work straight out of the box..

I know this thread's a year old.

So any communication/product information from Autel is suspect. Autel support is crap IMO so even if it works, I'd consider the other options first. I'll fiddle with it tomorrow or monday to see what the reality is. It just so happens that I need to bleed my ABS module.

No luck using the "tool" for bleeding the ABS.

I hope someone will find the answer for all of us. Model numbers and some directions will also be helpful.

Re: Find a OBD2 scanner that can bleed the ABS module

This thread is somewhat old, but I recently received some information from Autel Technical Support regarding an inquiry I made regarding one of their new scanners. Two of the scanners have me interested. Thought I would share this with the Forum. See the attached copy of the eMail I received. (Note: Scanners happen to be discounted right now.)
