ABS Light
Alright so I replaced my wheel bearing/hub assembly, and now my ABS light is on. I tried disconnecting the negative battery cable to reset it, and it went off and then today it's back on again. I have a 2003 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4x4 with the 5.4L V6, and it's got about 154,000 miles on it. Has anyone else had this problem after changing it?

Check to see if you damaged (or forgot to reconnect) the ABS sensor on the hub you were working on.
Inspect the hub for a damaged or improperly assembled tone ring, especially if it was a Chinese-made replacement part.
The ABS system cannot be reset by disconnecting the battery. You have to repair the fault and it will, in most but not all cases reset itself the next time it does a POST.

No I hooked up the ABS connector, and I actually disconnected it today and reconnected it. How can you tell if it's damaged? Well I did get the cheapest hub assembly for now, so it may have been made in China.

Alright slowr w/o blowr you lost me. I have no idea if there is an adjustment for the wheel speed sensor. Where exactly would the tone ring be? The new hub came equipped with a new abs sensor. I actually never messed with the speed sensor. Where exactly are the speed sensors located?

The speed sensors are located somewhere on the arc of the tone ring so that they can pick up signal. I dont have abs on my truck in the front or i could tell you exactly where. The best thing to do would be to look for two lines going to your brake caliper. One is your hydraulic hose, the other will be much smaller in diameter and will take you to the speed sensor.
