    Check out this link


    If memory serves me correctly the Ethos is a Graphing code and data reader, no bi-directional controls. I would go with the Solus, you will get so much more for you money!

      Steve is correct. The Ethos does not include any bi-directional functions so you will not have ABS Bleeding in that tool. The Solus PRO is the way to go. It is a little more costly, but well worth the money for the additional functionality and the Troubleshooter software that is included in the package.
