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?

Most likely one of your wheel speed sensors. :icon_mrgr

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.

My wifes trailblazer had the abs llight go on and off, turned out to be the abs computer that needed to be replaced.

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

I assume you're talking about the cruise control recall. It's going in for that very soon.

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.

Just pray its not like the ford ecu faulted code

My scan tool can do it. But I know I'm a ways from ya. I think I bought the turbo coupe motor from ya a while back. It looks like a couple of MM guys will be here at my house around noonish. I'll run the codes for ya.

Wish I could make it. Now the damn lights off. This thing is really pissing me off. :mad:
