I'ld be interested to learn more details of how this is performed with the scan tool. It also has me curious to find out if my BlueDriver OBD2 scan tool has this type of capability or not since it supports ABS.

The ABS motor/pump unit (module) is between the master cylinder and the calipers. Each wheel has a circuit within the module that's normally closed tight by a spool. These spools open & close rapidly to balance braking and prevent wheel lockup and vehicle yaw when ABS / ESP(or C) is activated. The scan tool routine opens the spools one at a time and holds them open so any trapped air can be expelled. The routine has you bleed the brakes three times, first time with spools closed to get any air out of the basic system, then with spools open consecutively to expell and air in the ABS module, then a final bleed to remove any remaining air that might have been purged from the module and still trapped in the basic system.
In general if you just open the basic circuit to, for example, replace the flex lines, bleeding the ABS module isn't required. I even replaced the stock master & booster with the Mopar BBK units and didn't need to bleed the ABS. However, if you were replace the ABS module, or leave the system open for any length of time then beeding ABS is essential.
