If you just want to know what code it is you can buy one at autopart store or amazon for $50-60.

Breadman and Mr.ac you guys kinda misunderstood the question as finch1750 mentioned. Most obd2 code readers DO NOT read ABS/SRS codes. Unless it's something like a laptop loaded with techstream which reads everything.

Also important question ilovetheabel, do you even have the technical ability to fix an abs issue if you do read the code? Some of the codes can be caused by either a really simple wheel sensor fix or a hard, abs actuator replacement.

Also to get those capabilities you must spend a minimum of $100, but in return you get a OBD2 reader that not only reads CELs but also ABS and SRS codes:

I've been eyeing that ML619 one for awhile personally.
