    I have a 2008 Toyota Prius. I just replaced and installed a new ABS actuator and I’m wondering if there is any way I can bleed it without a computer ?
    I haven’t tried turning it on, I just want to make sure I don’t skip any steps...

    I have done the actuator bleeding with techstream and it’s fairly straight forward. Since the process involves running individual motors I doubt it is possible to bleed it without techstream. The good news is that the connector is just $20-$30 and software easily installed on a laptop.
