The best OBD2 scanner for ABS is one that can read and clear anti-lock braking system (ABS) trouble codes, identify faulty wheel speed sensors, and provide repair guidance. Look for scanners that go beyond the check engine light to cover ABS-specific issues.

No. While most OBD2 scanners read check engine codes, not all can read ABS. The best OBD2 scanners for ABS are designed to access the braking system and give you precise diagnostics.

An ABS OBD2 scanner helps you understand why your ABS light is on, whether it’s due to a bad sensor, wiring issue, or hydraulic fault. Diagnosing ABS problems early improves safety and saves money on repairs.

The best ABS OBD2 scanner should include:
  • ABS code reading and clearing
  • Real-time data from wheel speed sensors
  • Repair guidance or verified fixes
  • Compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system

Not necessarily. Many mid-range OBD2 scanners can handle ABS diagnostics. However, for advanced repairs—like performing ABS bleed procedures or testing actuators—you may want a professional-grade scanner like the Innova 5610.

All Innova scanners are compatible with any OBDII compliant vehicle manufactured after 1996 or newer. However, available features may vary depending on your specific vehicle.

To understand the specific features compatible with your vehicle, please use our Coverage Checker.
