Default Which ObdII scanning software will read ABS codes?

I have a 98 blazer, and just bought a OBDII Elm327 interface to go with my laptop. I`m currently using a program called touchscan, and it works fine, but it won`t read abs codes. Anybody here knows a program that does? Or is there a better recommended program that anybody knows?
Thanks!

You need a full feature scan tool to access the serial bus connected modules such as the ABS system. You aren't going to get there with a generic scan tool. My AutoEnginuity scanner can access these modules with the enhanced package.

I just got the Sears wish catalog and they have a scan tool for $349.00 that reads abs and Air airbag codes. I sent santa a letter and picture

I just saw the Actron BrakeScan at Sears for under $90.00. It reads just the ABS codes.



Appliancguy-
Do you have a link or part number for the scanner? I just bought a new Actron CP9580 that reads the engine & ABS codes but not the airbag codes. It would be nice to have one that could do all three.
