    Does the Launch X431 mini pro have the capability to read and bleed the Bosch 5.3 ABS module in a 360? My current off-brand tool has the latest Ferrari 10.95 software(Diagzone). Menu for the 360 shows no brake selection. Strange because 430 system is shown as well as 355.
    Hoping to finish my brake service with a complete flush and bleed.

    I also have the Launch device. I've read that it is possible to bleed the 360 brakes using the device, but in the end never tried it. Using the Motive pressure tool was just too easy to pass up.

    Thanks Kevin. Odd there is no brake system selection for the 360. Most other models show the brake system as available.
    The Power Bleeder will not service the ABS reservoir. Needs to be cycled via tool.

    Yes, unfortunately the Launch device is somewhat limited when it comes to the 360. I initially bought it to use with the CS TCU I bought, and it worked well for that purpose.

    By chance, have you tried to use the brake system selection under the 430? Just wondering if there is any way that would function?

    Does the 360 have ABS? If it doesn’t, maybe that’s why it’s not listed.
    Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I have a 430 and don’t know much about the 360.
    Just trying to help.

    Just flush all the other brake fluid and go for a drive. Find a gravel area and slam the brakes ( going slow !). This will activate the ABS system and mix enough fresh brake fluid to make things “good enough”.

    Thanks Skipper1999. That is my plan. Cycle the ABS then bleed again to remove downstream old fluid. Just curious why the Ferrari 10.95 software does not show the brake option on my tool!
