OBD scanners, ABS and newer vehicles

Well, found out two things this week.

1st? The ODB port in vehicles is usually fused to the Aux power outlets, except a 2010 GMC Terrain (fuse 37 on the interior panel if you need it)

2nd? My trusty handheld scanner of many years only reads the engine codes and not the ABS system (which has an error light on the dash)

Do any of the newer bluetooth modules/smartphone things work decently for this?

I have a Ford exclusive app that can at least read the abs codes. Not sure if there is one for gm or not. I was going through the play store and saw it, and was surprised it works. Called fordsys if anyone is looking. Might be worth a search for gm, I've been seeing more and more make exclusive obd2 apps lately.

I have a Toyota specific app that will read ALL the computers, like 20 of them, on a Toyota or Lexus and let you change settings. Dunno nothin' 'bout GM stuff. But on Toyotas you can also short the diagnostics pin and read the flashes for ABS errors on the dash light.

I couldn't find a good solution going the BT route, so finally caved and picked up an Innova 3150d from Amazon for $180. It reads the daily C0265 abs code that my S10 has grown fond of throwing.

I found that O'Reillys has a much more capable Free Code Reader than Advance or Autozone which reads Abs and airbag that my Android Torque App will not read.

I found that the O'Reilley "better" scanner could not read my Chevy ABS codes, since the go out once I shut the vehicle off, and stay off when it is powered back up. The Innova I got can read them after power back up.
