Can Flashpro Read ABS / VSA

This weekend I believe I damaged one of the ABS sensors on my car (2008) while swapping out pads and rotors. When I started the car up, the ABS light came on, VSA Off was shown and the triangle with the exclamation point came on. Pulling the battery didn't fix this either. I found metal shavings on one of the sensors from drilling the screw out of the rotor holding it in place but I think I may have damaged it while removing the shavings (not sure). I'm not sure if that is the cause or if it's something else (or another sensor). Unfortunately, most OBDII readers won't read chassis codes so I can't reset the ABS light and I can't see which sensor (if that's what is causing the light to come on). One of the Civic guys suggested pulling it in Flashpro but I didn't have mine with me. (it's sitting in the box in my closet :banghead: ). I'm back home now and have access to my Flashpro and laptop.

Does flashpro have the ability to read the code and reset it? Not disable it? I want to see if it's just a matter of resetting the ABS or it's really damaged, and if it's damaged, I'd like to know which sensor is damaged.

Thanks

No it cannot read or reset these errors. Take it to the Honda dealer to have them read.
