Default CAN bus readers

Does anyone have a CAN bus reader in the DC area? I tripped an ABS code and need to read and reset it.

On the same topic, does anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive CAN / OBDII reader for the Nissan. If money were no object, I'd go with the consult, but I'm looking for somethink quite a bit cheaper.

Thanks!

There's no such thing as a cheap CAN reader yet. The one I'm buying tomorrow is located here www.autoenginuity.com.

Since I know nothing about these, what do they allow you to do? Just scan for codes?

Is it possible to adjust wheelspeed sensors to account for different sized tires on the street? Rather than having to turn off the TCS every time I start the car?

This one does more that most, but you would have to call them for specifics.

Is this for a 350Z application? As far as I'm aware, the Z uses ISO-9141 for the OBD-II physical layer, and not CAN. The Z's OBD-II connector does have a CAN bus, but it doesn't seem to be used for OBD-II.
