Hi, I have an ABS light on.
Is it possible to find the fault using the OBD port.

Same here, same guy and it came a few days later. As you said, guy probably waiting for new stock (as opposed to Grand Theft Auto scam to get £6.38)tuonokid said:I ordered mine off this particular link and it arrived in a couple of days, did you use the same seller?

If you think it could be a sensor problem you may be able to diagnose an ABS problem with a multimeter stuck on the end of the sensors as I recently discovered for myself.
It's a bit of an arse ache to do but it worked for me when I didn't want to wait for delivery of the reader.
I was about to get resistance readings of between 1000 and 1200 on all 4 wheels and a voltage reading of 0.2 volts when spinning the wheels as fast as possible (apart from the problem wheel which returned 0 volts).
