Will my OBDII scanner scan for the abs codes? I'm sure its a Hub, but not sure which one. Thanks.

Some do...depends on what you bought. Will have to find your user's manual and give it a read.

It has to be a scanner that is capable of reading ABS codes. Most store-bought readers merely read Powertrain codes.

Equus 3160 should read it, IIRC. Runs about $200 on Amazon.

Learn from the mistakes of others, that way when you mess up you can do so in new and interesting ways.

If there is an Advance Auto near you, they may be able to check it for free. They recently started issuing their stores scanners that can also scan brake codes, for use in their complimentary scans.
