I have an Actron scanner and it's only good for reading engine and maybe trans codes, I can't remember. You'll need some more scanners for the others, there are PC/Laptop programs with the required signal converters available with can do much more.

Usually, the first thing to check for an ABS fault code is the OVP relay, the one with the fuses on top. Next would be the ABS sensors themselves. Typically, small iron filings get attracted to the reluctor wheels and sensors becasue they are magnetized. A good cleaning is in order, i.e., remove all the iron filings with your fingers.

I don't know about the ETS, electronic throttle I presume. Perhaps there are some people on here who are smarter than I am.
