Have 2001 Toyota Highlander, automatic, 100,000 miles. What reasonably priced code scanner can I buy to precisely locate source of ABS problem. To tell me which wheel or ABS control module is failing, clicking. There is no warning light on dash.
I understand that the cheapest scanners will not give the detail that I need. I need the brand/model/price of the scanner that will tell me which wheel or control. Apparently locating the area of the ABS clicking NOISE may not be the same place as the location of the cause/source of the problem. Hence, the need for a good scanner... But which model?
I heard a lot of good things about blue driver, but I have never used it so I can't say if it goes to that level of detail. The Autel AP-200 is around 50 bucks, and mine will tell you which wheel sensor is doing what. I got the Walmart version which is a HT-200. It has much of the same functionality as the Autel MK-808 500 buck scanner. The main difference is for 50 bucks you get one manufacturer module free. Any other one is 21.99 a year. If you have multiple cars all Toyota for example it's a really good way to go. If you have different brands it can get expensive quickly.
I eventually broke down and got a MK808.
