Any good way to figure out why the light is on without a reader?

Is there a combination valve in my truck? If I bleed per your
procedures do I need to do anythign with this? The directions on the
autozone website say somethign abotu using a special tool to hold the
valve open when bleeding.

Nope. If you had a different unit then I could tell you a jumper
sequence that would flash the code on the light. The 310 though requires
a reader. You can rent the Actron unit from some parts stores and it
will read the code. It will NOT allow you to bleed the unit though, just
pull the code. The nice thing about the ABS unit is that if you repair
the fault properly the light will go out and the ABS will work.

No. The light means an error has been recorded. The reader tells you
what the error is.

You basically can do no diagnosis of any sort without the reader. The
light exists only to tell you to use the reader.
