if you own a elm327 or the likes, this is free with a droid device. ive got it, works damn good for free. reads all codes pretty much, plus live data. can even go in and clear codes in abs history, then drive and wait for the light to come back on, re scan, the new code is the issue.
I don't own the elm327 but is this what your talking about and this can read abs codes? because I need one to read the abs codes on my gxp

thats the deal. but the mini's tend to be hit or miss. theres a longer one that tends to work better.
then theres another brand bafx? iirc. its like 20 and will work. BAFX Products - Bluetooth OBD2 OBDII Car Diagnostic Code Reader Scanner Tool | eBay
yes it reads abs codes, p, c, and u codes.
Got my scanner and got scanned the abs codes and this is what came up could it be just a break in the left front wheel speed harness ?? causing all the lights to come up on the dash
Codes
C0035 - Left front wheel speed sensor - current
C0896 - Electronic suspension control - history
Found the broken wire fixed it and the wheel has no play in it but the lights are still up on the dash so could the hub be the problem
forgot to add the C0035 code is not showing up current anymore just in the history for the abs but i cant clear it
HISTORY CODES
C0898
C0896
C0035
if using the app i posted, you can clear history. then drive the car if the abs light comes back on, re scan. that new code will be the relevant issue.
most of the time if the issue has been fixed, the abs lights will go out on their own.
If you can't clear them, it most likely means they're current. ABS. codes usually "clear" when you shut the car off. The codes are still there, but typically the light will go out unless it's actively seeing an issue.
C0035 indicates an issue with the speed sensor. That's generally pretty straight-forward. Either the sensor is bad, cannot read the hub, or cannot communicate with the module. Check wires and connectors. If all is good there, suspect the hub.
C0896/8 are voltage/power supply codes for the module. I'd start by finding a wiring diagram and check the wires with a meter. You're looking for the 12v power supply, and the - Ground circuit.
so today I put new hubs on and scanned nothing showing up in the abs like before but the dash lights are still showing ???
lord you got gremlins.
drive it a few days and rescan it, maybe something will show up.
you can also nail the brakes in some gravel or dirt to see if the abs is working or not.
