Have a 94 XJ with the Teves ABS brake system. Does anyone know if the Snap On MT2500 scan tool (with correct cartridge) will bleed the ABS system, or do you have to have the Chrysler scan tool?
Ok, I have a DRB Scan tool, and ABS bleeding is in DRB Standalone/Diagnostics/ABS/MISC-bleed ABS
It is only necessary when the complete system was drained - also the ABS pump is without fluid or there is an air in the ABS system.
It works as follows (DRB on-screen menu)
!! Ignition is ON, engine MUST NOT be running!!
1. press and hold the brake pedal
2. DRB opens some valves, you feel the brake pedal falling down slightly
3. release brake pedal
4. this sequence repaetes twice
5. press and hold the brake pedal
6. DRB actuates ABS pump - you feel the pump "kicking" to the pedal
7. DONE
Bleeding ABS via DRB is a simple procedure, i think it could be done also without the DRB, you just need to actuate some electricaly controlled valves and ABS pump.
I can have a look to the wiring diagrams to find out what/where/when is actuaded.
But i am not sure if 94 has an ABS bleed feature via OBD. I think it is only for OBDII capable cars, form 96+
5-90, I thought that the RENIX system had no diagnostic capabilities? The SOLUS has a connector expressly for the RENIX Jeeps. I have never personally worked on a RENIX system, so I can't confirm if it works or not.
This is what the connector looks like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Snap...6?IMSfp=TL0901261510007r7340#ebayphotohosting
