Default Universal ABS Sanner

I’m looking for suggestions on a scanner for diagnosing the ABS components.
I would prefere a universal sanner for use on muliple Makes and Models (Jeep & Ford)

Please only respond if you own and have used an ABS capable scanner.

jscan app with an obdII wireless dongle....you can get the dongle for $20-30 (which will work with a variety of apps, Forscan for most ford(or related), OBD Fusion has the GMstuff, etc)

Jscan is VIN locked so each vin will run you about $20...does everything the dealer can do afaik...

This is the adapter I use with my jeep https://www.amazon.com/Vgate-Bluetoo.../dp/B06XGB4873 there are other cheaper and more expensive options, if you look at the jscan page (https://jscan.net/supported-and-not-...-obd-adapters/)

Related subject - my dongle started getting eaten (electrically) for no reason iin my JK. Unplugged it one day plugged back in and light went red meaning dead. Tried the sons one and buggered that too so bought him a new one and never had one back in mine since. Used to work great. No wiring changes just drove the vehicle - weird. My HP Tuners goes into the Jeep port fine and no issues.

Default J-SCAN, Replaced Wheel Hubs with sensors

My issue was a failed Speed Sensor in the front right hub. After replacing the sensor with a new one, the problem came back.

When I pulled the sensor, it had a white goo on it so I assumed it was a leaky hub seal and the water and grease mixed to form the white goo.

I ended up using a front set from O'Reilly's auto parts. They had them in stock with a 3-year guarantee.

Almost a year later and no issues.
