1997 Buick Regal ABS light on. cannot communicate with ABS module.

I have just purchased a 1997 Buick Regal. I am doing some repairs on it so I can drive it. The ABS light is on but when I try to read the codes the scan tool is unable to communicate with the ABS module. I checked the fuses and they are good, just looking for help on what else I should check. I used the search function to try and find similar problems but it came up empty.

Is your scan tool capable of ABS diagnosis? Many cheap-junk consumer-grade scan tools don't talk to the ABS or body computers.

Yeah it is. I've connected to my Jimmy's ABS system before with it. It's not a cheap one, its an OTC Genisys. I will try taking it to Auto Value and see if theirs works to be sure though. Thanks for the idea though.
