I need assistance with bleeding the SBC system on a W211 using the Icarsoft MBv3 tool.

I replaced the rigid steel brake line that runs from the SBC pump to the back of the driver's side with a flexible rubber brake pipe. The rigid steel pipe rusted and ruptured in front of the right-hand rear tyre. During the period of inactivity, the primary battery of the automobile had a failure and required replacement, as did the secondary battery. The gear selector is now functioning properly, and the warning notice to attend the workshop for the battery issue has been resolved. My current inquiry is if I can do brake bleeding using my Icarsoft MBv3, or whether I must take it to a shop for a Star session in order to have it done.

I just had my car's front brakes replaced. The garage I went to does not have any advanced equipment, therefore I believe they performed the brake replacement using traditional methods.

As mentioned before, I recently had a few pipes changed by a nearby small MOT business. They used a pressure bleeder to do the task. I am uncertain whether this is the optimal method, however it did not result in any issues on my s211.

For some unknown reason, on the icarsoft CR Max, there is a presence of SBC information under the EPB menu. There are on-screen directions detailing what actions to take. However, similar to the last situation, I neglected to follow any of those suggestions. A conventional pressure bleeder functioned effectively.

I have performed the brake bleeding procedure using the conventional approach, resulting in a pedal that is rather uncertain in its effectiveness. I have a question about the compatibility of the reservoir cap and the needed psi for bleeding when purchasing a pressure bleeder. Can you provide this information before I make the purchase?
Thank you.

The traditional approach is ineffective due to the brake by wire technology. The pedal only generates manual pressure when it reaches the extreme end of its movement, and even then, it only activates the front brakes. I am uncertain about the safe threshold for pressure, however I would try to use the smallest possible amount. I came across information stating that the system has a self-bleeding mechanism. However, it is important to ensure that no more air is drawn into the system throughout the process.
