Hi all - new guy here! Building a Factory Five Cobra with GT500 ABS

[toadster]

update, reached out to Forscan support and got the GT500 base file - have to test out yet, but should get me closer

finally got my Forscan setup with a GT500 file, but can't seem to do an ABS bleed - any recommendations to troubleshoot?

Any luck? How did you get the ABS to show up? Mine is currently a blackbox that is not responding beyond saying it finds an OBD2.

No dice - can’t get the individual valves to be seen by forscan for ABS bleed

Finally managed to get into the RCM via a MaxiCheck. So that is a start.

How did you get to see the ABS option with Forscan? Mine simply does not have that option. Are you using a VIN identifier?

I was able to get a 2009 GT500 VIN from the forscan team

I finally managed to get the MaxiCheck to talk to the ABS while having no luck with Forscan. The ABS is even responding to to bleeder command with some clicking and gurgling but not fully executing yet.

I could never get my Autel device to work, albeit a bluetooth thing with iPhone commands, probably need a nicer unit

This is what I got. I don't have it fully working yet but its getting me further than the others and is pretty easy to use on a stock setup.

I think Badger is further along that I am - my brakes are working like power brakes, haven't had many cycles to troubleshoot the forscan setup
i'm basically stuck at the ABS bleed function, I can see the unit but won't bleed - could be a multitude of things, so for now I'm happy the brakes work well, but ABS is on hold
