I have a false ABS light on on my 2012 Mazda 3 Auto from a low battery causing it to freak out and none of the other "fixes" have worked: pulling the battery terminal for 20+ minutes, turning to "on" and pumping gas 3 times, turning wheel lock to lock while "on" or running, driving for a few miles, using a cheap OBD II (clearly engine code-only), etc.
At this point, I need a step up in OBD reader that can read and clear ABS codes, and I know the internet has to have a turbo autist master strat.
There are two I've found that seem promising:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XGB4873
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PFJMTY3
What it must have:
-$50 or less for bluetooth reader, $150 or less for full tablet device (might go outside of these prices, but not like $500)
-Needs to be able to read and reset ABS codes and preferably all stored ECU codes on a MAZDA
-NO SUBSCRIPTIONS for features other than obscure stuff I won't likely need
What I prefer:
-iOS capable if bluetooth reader (I have a throwaround Android, but it's old and way out of security updates, so I don't like connecting to Wi-fi on it. For now my main phone is iOS so that's easiest)
-Free or low cost updates if I buy a new car down the road
-Being able to read recent BMW and 90s Chevy a plus
-Powered by OBD II or has a replaceable battery so it's not shelf dead in 5 years.
-Searchable OBD codes to see how people solved similar problems (probably more common on phone-based bluetooth modules)
What I don't give a shit about:
-read/write speeds (I will use this like once a year tops)
-interference with similar modules because they use the same bluetooth code (this will be used in my driveway, no one will be competing for bluetooth for this device)
-autistic security shit, no one will be trying to hack my OBD II port
