ABS air bleeding

Post by jaskin71 »

Hello all,
Thanks again to JP to provide the licence and for the great software. Found all my issues so far, cleaned errors after lambda replacement and reset my annual service light.
Im looking for some suggestions here. I managed to bleed my brakes on MTS 1260s that stupid way that I got air in ABS unit ( probably ).
I have removed the rear wheel and lift the calliper over the bike but it didn't help much. Its better than without the caliper lift but still the hill assistant wont even hold the bike now. Lever still like sponge.
Its there any way we are able to activate the ABS pump with the Melcodiag and get the air out of it?
Or any other advice? It will be really appreciated 👏
Thank you. Ride safe

Hello, you cannot even ABS air bleed with the official Ducati diagnostic tools. It is not provided in the Ducati like the other brands. You have to bleed your brakes normal then ride the bike activate the abs with 20-30km/h speed 5 or 6 times and come back to garage bleed again. This procedure is provided in the workshop manual by Ducati. There is no ABS bleed diagnostic option not even on the newest model V4.
