ABS help

First of all when I brake, I have that ABS pulsation come on. Pads and Rotors are new. The left tire stops first, (steering wheel pulls to the left) while the right stops in the dirt about 2 feet from the right tire (imprints).
This has been going on for a month, but I haven't have the ABS sensor go off until now. When it is on, I can tell that the ABS is not engaged so it seems to stop fine.

I suspect it could be the ABS sensor but I wouldnt know what side to replace.

I checked fuses too, not the source.

'93-96 Broncos have 3-channel 4WABS, and you can pull the codes from the computer to find out what's wrong. The Haynes manual tells how, and has a list of codes. Look thru the "Brakes & Hubs" pictures in my signature link.

So what type of computerized onboard tester do I ask to rent at Checkers? I did a OBD-II check, but it doesn't work on the "ABS Test" connector. It is a redish outlet right next to the fuse box.

Ask them if you can rent a paperclip. If you read the manual, that's the only other thing you'll need to pull ABS codes. If your truck was 1 year older, you could pull engine codes with the same paperclip.
