Harbor freight obd tool capable of opening abs solenoids?

Hi, new here, not sure if this goes in the brakes or computer area, but was wondering if anyone knew if any of the harbor freight obd scanners can open the abs solenoids for a brake bleed/flush? Thanks

Not sure about their scanners, I use an Autel mx808 that will perform the bleed. It operates really weird, doesn't seem to pulse the right side the same as the left. I've tried mine, snap on and even the GM software and they all do it the same way.

can't find current HF tools that will do it.
This one on amazon has reviews confirming it does:

Yep, that is how the ABS bleed works on our Gen6s.

you can unscrew the small motor on the brake, there is a thor screw inside if you rotate clockwise you will be releasing the brake piston so you can press the brake pads to fully open, this is how you do it if you dont have a scanner
i also heard there is a way that you can put the car into service mode that the cars automatically contract the piston so you can change the brake pads.
