2001 Ranger Abs Light

My 2001 Ford Ranger's (Standard transmission, two wheel drive)ABS light stays on. A paint & body man had a new code reader, but not the book. The flash code flashes seven times. Can anyone tell me what that means. I took it to the dealer, they checked the truck and said it could cost up to seven hundred to fix it. I don't have that kind of money and I can't get the truck inspected (Texas) Please help.

You need to find out the code vs just a 7x flash. Depending on the unit is how you decipher the flash codes that gives.

You may want to invest in a $35-40 code reader from a local auto parts store. Go from there.

www.codereader.com and look at the 'digital ford code reader' type.

But remember, it will just tell you where to start.

Another fault MAY trigger an error code and is not always a 'sensor' that failed. It may be the sensor giving the code but represent the system (electrical, mechanical) that has failed.
