Default Saph Cos ABS fault finding?

My ABS light keeps flashing on and off on ym 2WD saph, sometimes staying on for quite a while. Is there anyway of fault finding on them?
I know on the old toyota avensis you can bridge across the fusebox and find the fault codes through a flashing led. Anything like this on the Cos?

Cheers

Do you know anyone with the same car ? If so try plugging their ABS ECU in. I spent ages testing sensors and wiring on my old Saph before discovering the ECU was knackered

I thought 2WD and 4x4 ABS ECUs were different but i could be wrong. I know my ECU had a label with the 4x4 logo on it
