ABS Code! HELP!

Ok.. Stats..

2000 F150 Supercab, 4.2L V6, 2WD RABS.

I did the self test deal, ground out the black/orange wire and the ABS light will flash's the code.. This is what I got..

Turn key, ABS Light on then goes out

Comes back on flashing 16 times.. On the 16th flash it holds.. Then repeats again..

Whats that code??

Don't know what the code is but I can guess what the problem might be.
If your ABS light is coming on and staying on (under normal driving) the sensor on the top of the rear differential is a prime suspect.
They are about $18 at the Ford dealership and take about 5 mins to replace.
You can check your sensor by unpluggin the connector that goes to it and checking the resistance of the sensor. Should be between 800-2,000 ohms.

One word of advice.. Dont do it when your trucks been running for a few hours in 96 degree heat.. Kinda makes certain parts under there rather HOT! I got a nice lil burn from the exhaust and the side of the diff.. OUCH!
