I am having some troubles figuring out why the ABS lamp is on, on my moms 2001 Ford Escape. I pulled code B1676 out with my scanner, but cannot figure out what is causing the code. Here what I have done so far:
Brake Lamp on--Checked Master Cylinder Fluid Level--OK above min, topped off to Max, Checked Parking brake switch, Showing Open with Handle Up and 1.1 Ohms Handle Down, Checked Master Switch--Showing Open at present fluid Level.
ABS Lamp--Checked voltages at fuses--All showing battery voltage~12.4 at the time. Is there a specific relay for the ABS Controller, or is it hardwired, I am suspecting that the relay is not functioning, or worse case the controller crapped out.

Thanks
Nathan

 

These older Escapes seem to be prone to cracks in the tone rings, the gear-like metal rings at each wheel.

 

But would a cracked tone ring cause a battery voltage code, I thought that I would see a wheel speed sensor code rather then batt. voltage?

 

Whoops! You said ABS and listed a code and I assumed that it was a ABS code. Sorry....

 

Sorry for the confusion it is an ABS code, but from what I can find on google, the code means "Battery Voltage out of Range", I of course first thought the battery was going bad so I did a state of charge test on it, came up with 83%, I attempted to clear the code with my reader, but it will not clear out or it keeps coming back.

 

B1676: ABS module detected <9V or >19V for at least 8 seconds.

At 2000RPM battery votage should be 9V-19V, if so manual states to connect a EEC-IV 60-Pin Breakout Box for numerous checks!!!!

 

B1676 C1226 C1198 C1214 C1194 C1202 can anyone please tell me the fixes for these codes I'm at a standstill with this!?!?
