Auto bleed? Can you please give me more details? Do you open the bleeder and think the scanner will do the bleeding? If so, please watch this video of how the job is done:

Please go over this guide and get back to us.

It says I need a Chrysler (CCD) connector, or I might not be able to test the ABS and orc module?

I don't think so, you should be able to open the ABS valves through the ALDL diagnostic connector using the scanner, is this truck inside of the US?

It does not look like this scanner has the capability to open the ABS valves like in the video, but it is hard to tell because there is conflicting information. Can you upload an image of the screen where you sepec the ABS valves can be opened?

As soon as I click on ABS auto bleed, it pops up a message saying I need a CCD cable to do it.

Okay, I don't know on that scanner, maybe you need to cable. Does the scanner manufacturer have a support line you can call?
