Default Code reader

Has anyone got a code reader that can tell me which wheel sensor is playing up and causing the orange traction control and abs lights to come on.

After someone in the northern suburbs of Perth if possible, although beggars can't be choosers, so anywhere in Perth will do.

Cheers
Kev

Looks like I might have to pay their err....fee as it seems there isn't too many code readers around.
Cheers.

Take it to a sparky and they will charge around 50-80 for a scan. Easiest way to do it.

Any decent auto elec will have a scan tool, you could probably check it yourself with a program called Torque for Android phones and a bluetooth OBDII connector.
