2012 Virage Brake fluid Replacement Procedure?
Not aware of any of the after-market OBDII systems that include the ABS flush function for the Astons. You will likely need an AMDS for that. The rest of the Virage's system can be flushed in the usual way, though that can be made easier with a vacuum or pressure bleeder. That leaves you with having to flush in two stages: new fluid in the reservoir and bleed the lines, followed by a run in a quiet place to trigger the ABS a couple of times. You should then be able to bleed the lines again to clear out whatever fluid was previously in the ABS module.

V12Virage, thank you for the reply.
I'm going to see if my THINKDIAG will show the ABS flush, if not I'll go ahead with the two stage Vacuum bleeder scenario.
Update: Just checked my THINKDIAG and apparently it has an "ABS flush" function.

Did you use the "ABS flush" function on your THINKDIAG? Did it work?
