ABS light on but no code

I have a 2005 F250 crew diesel. My ABS light is on, but no code has been thrown. Any ideas? thanks in advance

My ABS light came on right as my hub was falling apart. When I replaced the hub and sensor, all was fixed. Try pulling it and seeing what is stuck to it. Mine had metal savings stuck to it.

Is the ABS light flashing when it comes on? What did you use to read codes with?

In my 99 model it was the speed sensor on rear differential.
Don't know how much different 2005 might be.

The ABS light is not flashing, and the check engine light did not come on, so I assumed that no code was thrown. I do have a scan tool, so I can check for codes

not understanding why you took the time to make a thread here...and yet didn't scan for codes if you have a code reader

A CEL won't always come on when the PCM is throwing a code. Some are soft codes that the PCM stores waiting until a trigger event occurs to flash the CEL.

If your light is on, chances are about 99% that you can pull a code from the PCM

If your scan tool has the capability to read abs codes. Not all of them do.
