I recently bought a software/hardware setup from Alex Peper (http://www.obd-2.com) that reads all of the government mandated OBDII codes and also let's you look at and record sensor and computer output in real-time. This software let's you reset the check-engine (MIL) light, but I don't think it will reset SRS, TCS or ABS lights. It's strictly designed for engine/emmisions systems. Still, for $120-$200 (depending on what model you buy) it's well worth the price. I've already used it to diagnose and fix a problem on my '97 CS and my Dad's '97 Audi A6. If nothing else, it's neat to be able to record a baseline of how your car is performing. If you do run into trouble later, you can compare sensor outputs to the baseline . . . Chech out the website for more info. Alex is a pretty technical person, it seems, so his site isn't exactly easy to read and understand, but the information is all there is you read through it a few times. The software can be downloaded for free along with a demo file that lets you try it out. Give it a try. I included a picture of the data page from the software . . . I hope Alex doesn't mind. (no commercial interest, yada, yada, just a satisfied customer)
