I have an ABS light that intermittently comes on and off and it has been doing it a lot more lately, so I am guessing the problem is getting worse...

Anyway, I have read a lot on it, and I am going to clean the sensors, check the wiring, etc...but I need to know if I get this code reader, can it read the codes I need it to read, and since its intermittent, will I be able to pull codes if the light is currently off when I try it out...

Thanks

Doesn't the code reader read through the obd port?
can't a parts store read the codes, and make up your mind about a code reader later?

It does read it through the OBD port, but I read that a regular code reader won't read the codes, you have to have a special ABS code reader and that you either had to buy one or go to a Ford dealer...

So, that was why I wanted to know if this one would work...

try the following.. i had a solid abs light everytime i turned my truck on...

took the abs sensor off the hub and cleaned it out with brake cleaner... havent had the light come back since.

removing and cleaning sensors takes about 5 minutes on a stock or lifted truck
