Default Brake Fluid Flush and Bleed

While searching here for information on changing the brake fluid, I came across a thread that stated: You need a Lexus scan tool to bleed the brakes properly. Can anyone verify this? I've bled brakes and other cars without having a scan tool. I've never bled the brakes on my 09 ES350.

Thanks,

I've flushed my brake lines just like I've done with every other car I've owned. No special tools needed.
