ABS brakes

Hi,

Yet another ABS brake issue. I'm having a problem with a 2000 F-350 4x4. The ABS brakes sometime seem to prematurely kick in with a slight pull to the right. The ABS brake light has now come on. When starting the vehicle, it flashes once and then stays on. Can I draw any code from this single flash, or do I need to hook up a scanner?

I was thinking a front wheel speed sensor?

Any help or a reference to the flash codes would be great.

Thanks.

Can you go to Autozone, borrow a code reader and just read the ABS codes that way?

No, the truck is in a small town in northern Canada... Does the single blink of the abs light mean anything specific?

Time to call a dealer or spend $$$ on a code reader.

Thanks for the help. Do you know if there are any readers that can be connected to a PC. I have a reader for my VW, it was cheap, and works great. Hoping there was something that could be used on a Ford?
