16v does. Pretty sure other EFI models do too, but its basic at best.

GTi 8v does too. Kitch's comment probably applicable here as well. :)

OBD ? No they dont. The GTi has a two pin diagnostic socket for reading out error codes though.

ABS ECU is seperate to the engine ECU so it wouldn't store fault codes anyway.
The ABS system is quite basic and easy to fault find the old fashioned way.
Start with checking the fuse, then the wheel sensors at the plugs in turn. Start with the front OS sensor, it nearly always is that one.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
