help with abs problem
Hello to everyone. I am new here. But from what I have read and experiance with other types of sights like this. People are always really great and helpful.
I have a 96 Ford explorer 4x4 sport. with the 4.0 V6.
When I hit the brakes sometimes you here a motor noise like a whine. And the brake peddel vibrates. and the Abs light came on. The Truck stops fine, but it makes noise evry now and then.
I don't have a code reader for the Abs yet.
So I was wondering if any one might have an idea of what it might be?
Thanks and have a great day.
Jon

The motor noise you're hearing is actually the ABS coming on. It could be due to speed sensor drop-outs (making it think a wheel is locked up with it isn't) or some electric ABS problem. There really is nothing else we can help you with without knowing those codes.
A common problem on these is the rear speed sensor mounted in the rear differential, however it usually doesn't cause this specific problem.
