Default anyone in DFW, near Arlington with a tech 2?

I am having problems with my ABS and my Hptuners wont read and all hptuners can say is "try a tech2" .

Anyone have one that can do a very quick DTC scan? (the ABS and brake light is on)

Its not throwing a SES code though. Its a BCM code, (I think BCM) Can Autotap scan the other modules?

BTW, its on a 98 Ta.

Yea, I emailed HPtuners support and all they can say is , "Try tech 2..."

I can see maybe it could be my car not communicating to the DL connector maybe, but they could at least test it to see if its a bug. I upgraded to their newest release as well.

I wish I had one. I know a few shops that have one that scan cars for free though. $2.5k makes that tool a diamond.

Buddy of mine here has a Snap On MT2500 scanner, I used it to pull ABS codes on my 94Z. So that one might work as well.

I can read the BCM's but i cant modify it unless its downloaded from a host into my handheld.
Nothing like HPtuners modifying though. It would just be an updated flash version basically.
