Found 2 scan tools
This one will do almost everything. I think it only covers up to and including 2018. It worked on my 2018. 20% off using code LNGQNGBV https://www.amazon.com/Autel-MaxiChe.../dp/B075ZLVXHY and https://www.amazon.com/Autel-Throttl.../dp/B088K6JMV8 This one is subscription based but looks like it will do the ABS. verify it will run your year and do what you need |

I’ve had success in my Gen5 by going out to drive the car and heavily and repeatedly engage the ABS then rebleeding all four calipers. This essentially cycles the ABS solenoids just as the scan tools do. Just be safe in doing this, try not to get on your brakes hard with other cars around. You don’t need a lot of speed to get into the ABS.

I'd recommend caution on some of those Autel units as I couldn't get half of the features to work on a 2019 (the last one I tried that wouldn't work was the electronic parking brake reset) and I dropped about $400 on that unit last year.

Hi everyone,
I am a medium level DIYer with the standard tools in a home garage (no press, no welder, no bench vise, etc). I can replace pads and rotors, replace suspension components, do fluid changes and most maintenance. I can work with pretty much everything that bolts to the engine though I tend not to do any internal engine/transmission work. Though before my Camaro I have been an import guy working on 4 banger OHC motors. Hopefully this gives you some feel for my skill level. I was about to order the Motive Power Bleeder so I could replace my OEM brake fluid with Castrol SRF in my 2018 SS 1LE as I hope to start hitting some track days. I have done some (not a lot) brake bleeding on motorcycles and older cars using the regular 2 person method but do not have experience with ABS equipped vehicles. I tend not to trust shops unless I or a good friend has a relationship with them but I am new to my city so haven't made any relationships yet. But, all this stuff I keep reading is starting to make me nervous. Brakes concern me because failed brakes can mean something worse than just breaking down on the side of the road. So my question is: on our cars, using the Motive Power Bleeder and my wife to help me watch the Master Cylinder to make sure it doesn't run dry during the process, but not having a scan tool to cycle the ABS, should I tackle the brake fluid change myself or would I be better off finding a performance shop (looking at reviews and talking to them first of course) to do the job? I appreciate any advice. |

The MOTIVE pressure bleeder can be used dry or wet. You can fill the tank with the brake fluid and not worry about running dry. Be sure to test the cap on your reservoir dry before adding fluid. This will ensure you dont leak fluid out the cap when pressurized. I put rags under the reservoir and cover it in case a leak blows off. The service manual on the 5th gen uses this type of bleeder up to 30 psi but I can't say what the 6th gen manual says. Here's some videos.
