MY ABS light is on now. Was on before then was off for a few months. It is a 2001 F150 two heel drive F150 with a 4.6 auto. Has 4-wheel abs with disc brakes all around. Any ideas?
 
That is something that will be hard to find possibally. It may have to be taken to a dealer and hooked up to the scan tool. I would do a visual in all of them and the wires and plugs. I would as well check your brake fluid and your ABS modual. If nothing abnormal is found its possiablly something in the ABS computer or a failed sensor, in which it would need to be scanned to find out exactly what is wrong.

Cool thanks. Probably gonna have to take it in to the dealer. :(
 
if it stops good just unplug all the wheel sensors and take the bulb out of the dash, i unplugged my chevy van and it stops better

Why are you so scared of technology? Just curious thats all. Not a flame by any means.

not scared just dont like things that take a shit! which is everything modern i guess!
 
Nothing wrong with technology. I like carbs just because they're cheaper. ABS is a good thing. Sucks if you have to fix it though.

I have a 2000 F150 2wd and my ABS light was on. I checked it with my scan tool and it was a code for the rear sensor (In the diff., not at the wheels). I erased the code and it came back as soon as the truck moved 5 ft in drive. I bought a new sensor, put it in and all has been fine.

Cool, thanks for the tip. Now to find someone w/ a scanner I can use...:lol:
 
my autotap won't get abs either. I would do it if I had something to scan it with.
Just pray its not like the ford ecu faulted code
