Abs Lite

My ABS lite comes on sometimes and sometimes not, checked all brake pads they all look good rotors are in very good shape, fluid level is full. Tryed running a code on it, but I don't know if my code reader will give the codes for the ABS. Any help or suggestion!!!

MIKE

Your code reader probably doesn't read Ford codes, when my ABS light came on the problem was the VSS sensor located on top of the differential, I picked one up at NAPA for about $12.

It could also indicate bad wheel bearings. My ABS light came on and Autoenginuity picked up the code for the driver's side front sensor fault. Come to find out the wheel bearings were trashed and took out the sensor with it.

Lift up the front of your trucks and grab each tire and try to wiggle it around. There should be no play and it should spin freely without any strange noises.
