Just wondering which tuner or scanner would offer me the most benefit for my application in the Willys?
Things like changing tyre size and can any run the ABS pump for bleeding after a full drain of the brake fluid? I don't know if any would let you shut the airbag system off?
From what I have seen posted here and on forums is the following.
I use jscan so I've screen dumped a few screens from the WH Grand Cherokee ABS section.
I have a Wrangler so I can't guarantee how it works with the WH. Also, this is an area of jscan that I haven't played with so obviously you'll need more investigation.
The screens suggest to me that it 'may' do what you want.
Anyhow, I have certainly found jscan useful for me. I have changed tyre sizes many times and reset the auto transmission, and DRL's

Last is pretty pricey as is the Snap-on version, but might be cheaper than a tilt tray to the nearest dealer to sort things out!
I have a Hypertech MaxEnergy 2.0, but don't think that would offer me a lot in this situation?
To throw another in the mix Appcar DiagFCA I've got both it and a BlueDriver (which I use for general code clearing and also pulling codes from modules most don't go into). The Appcar app is very powerful from what I've used so far, seems that you can change a lot of the items the car gets coded with from factory. I'll see if I can trigger the ABS pump with it, I've used it to trigger the diff lock solenoids on QD2 independently for testing. The downside is you do need a Windows laptop of some sort I believe, I've got it running on cheap(ish) Surface Go with a USB OBD2 cable.
Thank you so much for responding.
I want them to be user friendly too so any comments about that as well would be helpful, or ones that have support forums that you can ask questions on?
It is designed for someone who knows what they are doing and you can get it wrong and not be able to reverse what you have done (yes it happened to me) and the only recourse is a factory reset from the dealer.
I don't have a lot of experience with Appcar DiagFCA but if I was to do it all again then that would be my starting point.
