Default ABS scan tools

Does anyone know what aftermarket ABS OBD2 scan tools will read the ABS
codes as well as cycle the ABS system to bleed the brakes?

Trying to find a unit so i can cycle the ABS pump on a 98 Taurus.
Had a bad brake line and rear calipers and replaced them.
Petal is soft after bleeding. From what i can tell, i need
to cycle the ABS pump to get the air bubbles out of it.
Don't have a Ford NGS or can i afford one./ Any ideas?

I've not seen any of these sold at my local auto parts stores. But
they are on the internet. Search google.com for the words...

Also you can drive in a safe area, then slam on the brakes and that
should cycle them. You need to be driving over a certain speed. Like
25 mph?
