I had to repair my rear calipers and just bleed the system , but I would like to bleed ABS pump just in case , for same odd reason I can't go with the instruction on your website
[Select]
[03 - ABS Brakes]
[Basic Settings - 04]
Group 002
[Go!]

I can access but when I go to group 002 it tells me error in the small windows, so I can assume that this doesn't work in 1999 Audi A6 2.8Q ,
I tried another method of login in using code 40168 but this doesn't work either, I used the output test procedure but probably this doesn't cycle abs ..

audifirst

is the test only available to car with ESP systems ?

Have you checked the factory repair manual yet? Mind posting an Auto-Scan so we see which ABS system is actually installed?

Here is a photo of what ABS module I have , I have replaced with new unit after original failed but it is the same part# VAg# and version
I have checked factory manual , Bentley does mention abs cycle through cable,
but doesn't say if this works with all ABS or specific ones

Theresias

Please update to a current version of VCDS and post the Auto-Scan as requsted.

Thank you. Based on this information it does indeed look like you can't initiate the bleeding via diagnostics/basic settings. The factory manual suggests the use of an external bleeding unit.
