You don't need a Pocket Data Booklet to get the codes. Use this link to figure out how to read/delete codes:

And this link supplies all of the codes:

And now to your codes.
A-3, 4-4-4, no power supply to valve in hydraulic unit. Check the plug to the ABS module, clean it and see if it works. This is what turns on the ABS light.
A-7, 1-2-2, Engine coolant temp sensor taking too long to get a reading. If this happens again after clearing, it is time to replace the engine coolant temp sensor. Easy to do, but you should also ask about replacing the thermostat at the same time. Get OEM parts for these two items.
B-1, 1-2-2 Climate Control, outside temp sensor short. Try deleting this one, your instrument gauge temp readout works.
When reading codes, the key must be in posII and the car doors closed. You should have received codes for A-2, fuel system, and A-6, ignition system. At least 1-1-1.
Replacing the ECT and thermostat will improve your gas mileage considerably, and it might even make the turbo work better.
Have your mechanic also test the antifreeze to see if it needs a flush at the same time. If so, tell hime to disconnect the bottom coolant hose at the engine block to empty both the radiator and block and when putting the hose back on, make sure the clamp is at the same place it was when taking it off.
