code scanner that can read each wheel speed sensor?

my abs light is randomly coming on. I think one of the sensors is going bad. theres a sensor in each wheel hub. apparently some scanners can view the speed from each wheel and that would tell me which sensor is bad. does anyone know if this would work?
Amazon Amazon

it says abs diagnostic functions. it should show a fault code, but would that fault code tell me which wheel?

If the ABS light is coming on, I would expect there to be a code stored to tell you what is wrong. I would get either the Schwaben tool from ECS, or pick it up direct from Foxwell.

sadly my cheap bluetooth reader doesn't show anything. it usually works.

I use my schwaben tool and it tells me which side and corner is at fault.

Hey ECS,

Will the Schwaben tool read the requested and actual camshaft angles? I've looked at the "poop" sheet for the tool and it is not clear. I have a 2013 MCS

Thanks,

Peter
