Default Can a snap-on diagnostic tool do an autobleed of the ABS pump?

My truck sat for over two years in teh garage with a screwed up crush washer on the banjo fitting so air made its way all the way up to the ABS pump. Ive bled the brakes like normal, gone on a gravel road and slammed on the brakes to engage the ABS and while the braking has gotten much better its nowhere near what it should be. My friend has a snap-on solus pro and a mt2500, will either of those do the autobleed of the ABS pump? I really dont want to have to go to a shop that ahs a tech II to get this done and get stroked for who knows how much for a very simple job I can do myself. Ive got EFI Live too but I havent found anything in any of the tables to do that.
