Usually a place like Auto Zone will read the codes for you free.

Try cleaning the rear sensor. If it's the same as a 94, it's in the top front of the differential. Unbolt it, pull it out, wipe it down and shove it back in...

or just replace it. it cost me $20 for my 2000 and fixed my problem.

ABS systems have a different plug and cannot be read by normal code scanners. You need a real fancy one.

I found some ABS info at http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang
