Reading ABS Codes with Scan XL Pro and ELM327
Hi guys !
After looking for hours how to read the abs codes for my 2002 S-TYPE without having to spend a lot of money (got the Traction control fault + abs light)
I got an ELM327 off Amazon and using ScanXL Pro with the Ford Diagnostics Enhancement Add-on, I was able to do it.
I had to say my car was a 2002 Ford Taurus 3.0L to benefit from enhancements and ta-da ! I was able to read the C**** codes
Thought this might be useful to some people so decided to share
Sion,

If I had to guess, you have an ATE brand control module on your ABS unit. It is probably a bad module like a lot of Volvos that I have repaired (or had repaired).
The codes that you are chasing are likely ghost codes and you can't diagnose anything until you get that module ruled out as a problem. Send the module out for repair, then see what you have.
When you reinstall, drive the car a few feet and the light will go off if that was the problem.
