there are some low priced scanners out there which will give you codes only although probably not ABS related or Autobox related codes
 
The lead from Alex Pepper http://www.obd-2.com uses a PC/laptop and comes with software enabling you to see all the real time data.
 
i.e.  
 
It will not only give you a fault code but lets you view all the data, figures and processes causing the code and is probably the best option although not the cheapest.

That's saying for vehicles after 2001 which have CANBUS (whatever that is.)
 
I have the U380 and it reads the codes for the Scorpio ok except ABS
