Supposedly, the one in the link I posted was the Maxicheck Pro.

When you receive your item, go ahead and update the software.

There is a good chance doing such may provide you all the options you may ever need. :)

The auto bleed function is usually found in the reset function on these units. Autel and Launch Tech are excellent tools and many independent shops use them. I have the Launch X-431 Pro3 and have retired the Snap-on Solus Ultra as inferior and way over priced.
Good information

I have an 06 Xterra Off Road and am having the ABS, VDC, SLIP lights problem. I might as well add to my electronic toolbox and buy another scan tool for me. After 2 trips to the dealer, it should pay for itself. What is available now? I want to scan and diagnose ABS/SRS systems, engine and trans. Read my sensors in real-time. Reset or Cal steering angle sensor, etc. I also want the ability to cycle the ABS actuator when I bleed my brakes. I would like it to work on a variety of vehicles, not just Nissan. My budget is around $250. And go.....
Did you end up getting the tool that resets slip?? I'm wondering myself which one I should get..

Dealing with this myself currently and the OP link is no longer available at Amazon. Did you get something that worked
Hard day at work?

OP's link came up right quick for me:

Autel MaxiCheck Pro ABS Autobleed OBD2 Diagnostic Tool, with ......

That model apparently does not read transmission fluid temperatures.

This less expensive 2022 Autel scanner does read tranny temperatures:

Autel MaxiDiag MD806 OBD2 Scanner, 2022 Newest Auto Scan Tool with ABS, SRS, Engine, Transmission Diagnostics, Oil Reset, EPB, SAS, DPF, BMS, Throttle, A/F, Lifetime Free Updates

More expensive 2022 models are also available on Amazon.COM.

Just FYI just purchased the Foxwell NT809TS and it will not perform the ABS bleed on my 2012 X pro-4x. It appears to have little to no functions available for the Nissan Lineup and this unit is 3 or 4 steps above the 630 which others have claimed on this site would work???

AFAIK our rigs don't support Auto Brake Bleed. According to this post, the user was able to cycle the ABS valves. "Pedal to the Floor" ABS Problem?

Have you reached out to Foxwell. Perhaps there is an update. Also, they seem to put the 2 way commands in the strangest places.

Also, I have read a ton on this site and others about scan tools - because I want to buy one. As far as functionality is concerned, the "higher Level" scanners within the same line don't necessarily have all the functions of scanners below. I looked up the NT809TS and it looks like it has a scan tool and TPMS but doesn't specifically mention ABS. One of the reasons I have yet to buy one, but I really do need to do so, and figure out how to use it before I really need to know.

The Foxwell will do some abs auto bleed/cycle and SRS just not for the Xterra. I'm now looking at the Autel MK808TS and according to the vehicle coverage/functionality chart it says it will do both plus cycle the abs solenoids at the wheels.

I think the auto bleed issue is a function of the brake controller, not the tool. If you can't auto bleed with Consult III, I don't know how an aftermarket tool can do it, but I am happy to be proven wrong.

However if you get it to work please let us know!

I spoke with Foxwell and apparently I was looking in the wrong spot on the scanner. Once in the right area i was able to cycle the ABS Moudule as well as several other sensors and actuators such as door locks, windows, AC, even my locker. Still haven't gotten around to try bleeding the brakes after cycling the ABS.
