Bleeding AYC with EvoScan

[Macca]

Hey guys, I'm just getting ready to bleed my AYC but im having problems activating the pump with evoscan. It connects but I just keep getting a waiting for actuator pop up in the box on the side then it just says completed. I'm using an openport 2.0 cable and ive tried using evoscan 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9.

It's worked in the past for me but it seems to be really hit and miss. I'd like to get it right so I know it'll work properly whenever I want to use it.

Oh, I also pulled pin 9 out of the cars OBDII port so that cant be the problem.

Cheers guys.

Is your steering wheel centered/front wheels straight?

 

[naughtika]

also is your car on an angle? like the rear's a lot higher than the front?

if so.. you need all 4 wheels up in the air

What they both said

I can't say I noticed the angle of the wheels but I have a feeling they weren't straight. The car is on a very slight reward slope so I cant see that as being a huge problem but I'll check it out and report back. Thanks for the advice guys.

I don't have the right cable or something so I do it manually.
Open the reservoir in the boot, ensure its full and the area is well protected with rags.
Loosen the two bleed screws at the AYC and either allow gravity to do the work or use a hand vacuum
pump as you would use on your brakes.
Did this twice as a flush and fill. Not a sound anywhere, but then again my AYC is like brand new inside and out.

Went through so much wasted effort and originally the red light of doom came on and off..blah blah..the relay next to
the battery was dodgy. Opened it up filed the contact pips and aligned the plate to square the contact arm for better ...contact!
Not the pressure switch on the unit, not dirty fluid, not imbalanced tires,not the vacuum solenoids and so on.
So much wasted time...
