OBD scanner that will read ABS/SRS codes

[MajorMantra]

Can anyone point me to a reasonably priced OBD scanner that will read and reset ABS codes, i.e. not a basic device that only does engine codes?

This is for a Mk3 Mazda MX-5 and I'm struggling to identify a good one.

For my BMW I was able to buy a Creator device for around £50 that does everything, but it's proving harder to find one for Mazdas that will definitely do what I need.

(This search was prompted by intermittent ABS/TCS lights coming on, I suspect a bad wheel sensor but need to narrow it down...)

Cheers!

Don't all chip in at once!

For what it's worth, this is the most promising one I've found so far, although I was still hoping to spend a bit les...

I guess you're right, which makes it all the stranger to me that my BMW tool does everything for such a reasonable price. Why doesn't the equivalent exist for other brands?

I think that Autel website you linked to is for cloned tools, they may work but I personally wouldn’t buy one.

I have to admit, I didn't realise Autel was a proper brand that others were mimicking. I don't mind buying a cheap Chinese unit, but I don't like supporting those who are simply ripping off someone else's brand, if that's the case.

What about a used Snap-On scanner then buy the correct ‘key’ for it?

That way if you change your car, just buy another manufacturer specific ‘key’ for the diagnostic tool.

Probably still a bit spendy tbh! I'd consider one that was cheap enough...

Is ForScan any good for the MX5?
Used on my 2008 Mazda 6 and goes quite deep. Have not used it for a few Years.

App free and only requires a cheap Elm, modified with a switch.
I have a USB one and plugged into a Laptop.
Had to get an OBD Extender Cable to capture data on the go as the Elm interfered with Accelerator Pedal.

Ok this is interesting, not an option I was aware of and it looks like the app plus a suitable adapter could be pretty affordable. Thanks for the heads-up, I'm going to do some more research!
