- 2020, FPIU Hybrid
Hello, I'm rebuilding a crashed FPIU hybrid and had a caliper off for a while, it fully drained and after manual bleeding I'm getting all of the brake related warnings on dash (service advancetrac, hill assist, service park brake, etc ,etc). ALSO my front right and rear left brakes do not work even though I bled them.
I've seen one video of a guy with a fancy tablet doing a power bleed on a 2021 civilian explorer on youtube and someone in his comment section said they were able to do it on forscan. There is VERY little detail online about how to properly bleed the new explorer and I couldn't find info on the service manual on the foexplorer site
Question, why is the abs bleed option not showing up in forscan? I have the recommended adapter. If that won't ever work, how do I auto bleed the abs, is there a cheap tool I can buy to do it? EDIT: potentially need to use a paid program by FORD (FDRS for 2018+ vehicles) and it is $50 every 2 days for a sub.
Thanks.
SECOND EDIT: I messed up... this is totally possible through forscan. The problem stemmed from me trying to find a compatible adapter. When I used a cheap bluetooth adapter, it only showed about a quarter of the modules and I saved the profile. When using the more advanced adapters, I kept reusing that profile. Finally, I pressed no on using the profile and forscan downloaded the other 75% of the modules and abs autobleed and such was all present including the ability to read and clear crash flags on the RCM and other crucial features.
