Scanner recommendation
Ok...so I think I will purchase a scanner to pull codes when necessary off my 2006. I want something ABS capable, since I currently have the ABS/Trac Off/VSC lights coming on intermittently. Any recommendations out there?

FYI, ScanGauges can't read ABS/Trac/VSC codes.

Yeah, which is why I suggested Techstream first and foremost.

Cheapest option is also the best that I'm aware of. ...
Blue tooth OBD11 from Ebay and Torque Ap from google Play and your phone to do all you want and much more.

That wasn't a dig at you, no need to get you're panties in a bunch. I was just keeping the OP informed, since he was asking about recommendations for an ABS enabled scanner and all.

The only thing to watch out for on those Chinese Techstreams is that you won't have any support if something goes bad from the seller/company (though many people on the forums have one so you'll have support from them). Other than that they are an affordable option for your vehicle.

 Umm, I think you misinterpreted my words wrong sir  Hence why I was high fiving you. Cause I too was agreeing with you..
It's okay, I am not mad, I was young once too
