Default Will Autotap diagnose traction control/ABS DTC's?

I'm having some intermittent problems with my wife's Regal. The traction control goes off by itself, then a service vehicle soon light as well as a brake light. I'm pretty sure it's a ABS sensor, but my shop manual takes me in a couple different directions. A scan tool would be really nice right about now. Does Autotap deal with ALL the computer systems on the car?

I guess I should have checked Autotap's FAQ first. It does NOT work with ABS or airbag systems. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> Only powertrain systems.

ABS on a '99 is only read on a scan tool. Unless I'm wrong.(<<<eazy out.lol)

Ok, are there any other available tools (PC based or other) that are reasonable and will read the DTCs from the traction control and ABS systems?
