f250 sd engine light on

OK, last week my ABS light went on, thanks to the good people here I was able to fix it the next day for 22 bucks. Sweet. On my way to pick up the part my service engine soon light lit up. Do you think this is related to the VSS not working or is it just a coincidence and I actually have another problem developing? Thanks in advance.

Does (did) it stay on?

Go to Autozone and let them hook up. They'll be able to tell you a little bit - for free.

Hey Orn, thanks for the tip. I didn't know Autozone did that type of thing. I will get over there when I get a chance. And yes, the light has stayed on, truck has 86k miles.

If it does indicate that its the ABS sensor, then it could be just saved data.

Have autozone to clear the light - it should stay out then.

Or you could just disconnect the battery (with your headlights on to drain the system better) and then after a few minutes just reconnect it.
