OBD 2 Code reader

Hi all
I’m looking for advice on how to read codes with a Bluetooth OBD 2 reader.
We’ve got an ‘05 S type Diesel and I need to find an app/software that will read ABS fault codes. The abs warning and DTC inoperative lights are on.

Any help appreciated

Have you read ABS codes through this app? And did you have to get the advanced paid for edition?

TIA

Hi Felipe
Have a look at one of your wheels, possibly one of the sensor readers has popped off, it happened to me on my 99 S-Type.
Hope this helps
Cheers

I use the Jaguar SDD software. Version 130 running in a virtual windows XP machine (with no internet connection and a bit of code to reset the date each time it is used) on a laptop with the Mongoose pro adapter. This has always worked well for me.
But this is a bit more involved than just plugging in a code reader.
