2016 Silverado Brake Fluid change

Alright guys, I could use some advice. The owners manual recommends doing a brake fluid flush at 5 yrs. As I understand it, you have to activate the ABS module using a scan tool in order to get all the fluid out. So has anyone done theirs?

Thanks in advance,
ArtyB

Ive never changed brake fluid on any of our vehicals unless something broke and leaked out some...Last pickup had 285,000 current one has 150,000 wife has ran 3 cars into the 225 thousand range never had any issues.

I have done it on my 2013 twice. Fluid that comes out is nasty.

Yes I do use a scan tool.

Brand is Autel, will have to look at it for the model

I use a turkey baster to suck out brake fluid from the master cylinder every year.

I’ve seen where guys have done that. Makes sense and I actually bought one of those for that purpose.

Thanks for the feedback
