Brake bleed with ISTA+?

Can I bleed the brakes with ISTA+? If not what software should I use for my E70. INPA does not like my E70.

thanks

Yes. You can.

See below. It may also solve your INPA issue

Thanks for the reply. The links pointed me in the right direction. Brake bleeding is not under Brakes .

In ISTA+ go to vehicle management / service function / chassis and suspension / traction control / brake bleeding routine / brake bleeding procedure. This option will be grayed out unless you let if you let ISTA+ perform a full vehicle test first.

I performed the procedure on all 4 wheels and the pedal is now firmer. The only concern I have is I did not pressure flush them as I don't have a pressure flush unit. I used the pedal to flush. Step 1 says "Connect the brake fluid-change unit and switch on (the filling pressure must not exceed 2 bar)". Step 5 forces fluid out with the DSC pump so I think I am still fine.

What kind of tool/hardware (brake-fluid change unit) do you need to connect and where in order to perform this?

I've only done brake bleeds the manual way.
