Does this read ABS codes and TCCM faults?

I use this in conjunction with a phone ap called Torque. I am able to se any and all "codes" that may be on any car that has an OBD2 port. I can reset the codes and see a great deal of real time engine information. It works great

Phil, I'm not certain as I don't know what those are. It def. reads the OBD code and it will, with the right software, allow you to turn off the engine light. I run it with windows and android and they both receive fuel and mileage information. But that's about all I know. It's also a bit finicky to connect - you must turn the car on (w/o starting the car), then tell your tablet/phone/laptop to find a device, once connected then you can start the app/program and once it's reading it, then start the car. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

If you can get a connection, it will give you basic info only. It has gauges to measure different things, but I have not been able to get them to tell me anything.

No, it will tell you the error code, and if it supports your car for more than simple OBDII, will allow you to see various PCM inputs in real time. You will have to know (or learn) what sensors are applicable to the specific error code. The web is great for learning the codes, just be willing to read a lot.

Yes as long as the truck has the diagnostic plug on it it will read the codes!

I have not been able to scan abs codes with this scanner I work on gm mostly

Yup. Just plug it in and you'll see it show up as /dev/ttyUSB0 (or something similar). I use ckermit to connect to it. No drivers or anything else needed.

Not on any models I've been hooked to. ABS is normally a different computer. And you would have to fix the problem.

The drivers install if they haven't already. Then your certificate management will see the reader. Nothing useful happens, however, until the CAC is inserted.

I believe it should work. I used this scan tool on many vehicle from different make and model. So far, it reads fine for transmission and abs codes.

I use it for reading locomotive card that relates to a black box (Speed, Times, Dates, Brake Pressure, Headlight, Parkbrake etc)

I took my car to O'Reillys auto parts and they put there tester on. It showed the left front abs sensor was at fault. They do it for free.

Sorry, I don't know. I use my CAC Reader with an apple computer, and it works fine.

not to sure live data on abs tpms. I beleive it only does abs for fords. dosent support all modrls on abs. But does let you erase abs trouble codes and airbag codes. on all models . havent used it much. Jeff

No, this will read the code the car's computer is saying is a problem. You can look up the code on the internet and that may lead you to the problem. Tell your mechanic to fix it. This device just reads codes.

As basic as this reader is I have found many ABS problems with it and resolved them. With a little practical experience it is useful in locating a variety of engine diagnostics also, however the code protocols are so varied, PID, SID,MID etc. are all based around the OBDII protocol. There is a book offered by Nexiq technologies for $89.00 dollars that is almost a necessity to make this tool worthy. Hope this helps.

No it does not pull ABS codes. It will pull data from every other sensor on your vehicle. I have been using it for several months now and every time somebody watches me use it they buy one for themselves.

One responder says it cannot read ABS. The other responder says it can. Which is it? And if it can, do I need 'specisl' software to do it?

Hi, Yes, I have one of these running on a DOS-based POS software connected via serial cable (not included with my purchase). Have a great day!
