Which statement is true about bleeding brake lines on most ABS equipped vehicles?

When it comes to bleeding brake lines on most vehicles equipped with Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS), the procedure is indeed similar to that of conventional brake systems with the addition of some cautionary steps.

In ABS systems, there are valves and a pump that work in conjunction to prevent wheel lockup during braking. While these components can complicate the bleeding process slightly, they do not prohibit it. Technicians can bleed the brake lines by following standard practices, ensuring that they are careful to avoid introducing air into the ABS control module. This might involve correctly cycling the ABS during the bleeding process after initially bleeding the brake lines in the usual way.

This option is accurate because it acknowledges the feasibility of bleeding ABS-equipped brake systems while emphasizing the need for an understanding of the specific procedure involved. This contrasts with the other options that either suggest that specialized equipment is always required or that bleeding is completely impossible, both of which do not reflect the practical realities of servicing these systems. Additionally, the notion that ABS systems require a different type of brake fluid is misleading; they typically use the same fluid as non-ABS systems, provided that it meets the necessary specifications.
