abs

I have a 97 Ford Ranger, 2.3L, standard cab, automatic trans. I had a power steering hose break and the engine compartment had power steering fluid all over. Had it fixed and now my ABS light is on. Had it check and the mechanic does not know why it is on. They checked everything and it looks...

Hi guys. Got an unusual situation here. Today I took my 96 Explorer in for the front bearing/hub replacements that my dealer offered to do under the warranty. Great! They used quality SKF's. Took an hour and a half and I was on my way. So cruising back home and aproach the intersection where I...

My 2004 Explorer drove fine to work. When leaving for lunch it felt like a brake pad was going bad. 20 mi. later is was making a grinding/tinking sort of noise and ground like a brake pad was gone or anti lock was having issues but no ABS lights and only when using the brakes.It is fine if you...

I just wanted to share my experience with you all, hopefully it can save someone else some headache. In December I put on a set of rims and 33 inch tires. In February we had a decent freeze and my ball joints started squeaking, but right when I decided to change them they stopped squeaking and...

MOT cancelled! On my way to the MOT station at last, I noticed that the brakes were quite poor. I'd tested them on the drive after fitting the new ABS module and they'd seemed fine but this had been a limited test. Today though, there was a lot more pedal travel than I remember and poor...

Hey all, IN SHORT: What does this mean? abs code: C1102 "Acceleration Switch Malfunction" How do you fix it? What is the Acceleration Switch? IN LONG FORM: I've done some searching, but i can't find anyone with ONLY this problem, and I'd like to work towards a simple solution hopefully...

i have a problem with the brakes on my 96 explorer .. the abs goes on when i go to brake on normal dry road as if i was on a ice or snowed road... i am not sure if its the brakes or the hub or something else.. does anyone know what i could do to fix this? thanks -steve

i have a 97 x sport. today i was driving on ice and all of a sudden i lost my brakes and heard the abs pump cycling. I looked under the hood and saw one of my 4 green anodized "caps" on my abs pump was missing. i dont know where it went or anything, it was just gone and fluid was leaking out...

The ABS light on my 1993 Explorer Limited turns on when the vehicle is driven above 50 or 55 mph for a mile or two, and it remains illuminated until the ignition is cycled off and on again. If the vehicle is driven at 45 mph or under, then the light never turns on. The ABS sytem works as...

Hi All, I have a 1996 Explorer with a V8 and 4 wheel disk that has an ABS light that stays on all the time (with Key on only or if the engine is running and vehicle moving). Using a scan tool, I was able to pull ABS Code C1194 (ABS outlet valve coil LF Circuit Failure). From the research...

Has anyone successfully done an ABS bypass for the rear wheels only? I was replacing my rear brake line and like a rookie I over tightened the fittings into the ABS manifold and stripped the thread. The pipe wasn't sealing because my flare was bad . . . I don't really care about the rear...

1995 XLT, 130,000 miles and this has been happening for years and the Explorer is parked outside and not driven often. The ABS light will stay off for months, then after a rain that occurred while it was parked, when I start it up the ABS light comes on. It may go away after a restart, or it...

I have a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT My airbag and ABS light just recently came on. The Airbag light came on first, and now the ABS light is constantly on. I unplugged the negative battery terminal so as to reset the computer, but the lights remain on. I've read somewhere that a dead...

I'm really due to replace the front calipers, will do the rears as well, but a question. My Ex has 310k on it, and the brake fluid in the reservoir is not clean - dark, had filmy stuff in it, last pad change I siphoned it nearly dry and filled new, but the new is of course discolored. Bleeder...

Something potentially deadly happened to my X so I just wanted to run it by everyone to see if it is common... So the other month I took off down the driveway, press the brakes to stop and I was just met with mush under my foot. I stopped, barely. Checked the fluid, fine - no RABS light...

I would like to know what means the description of each one. Example: code C1102 says "Acceleration switch circuit failure" but... what it means? Where is it? What do I have to check on it? What do I have to do to fix it?

I have an 06, 4.6L less than 18,000 miles on it. Was stored in a garage. Bought it used with a known problem with the ABS/traction control. The ABS, traction control and power train lamps all come on once the car get above 30 or so MPH. They may go back off and come back on at random...

So this problem is completely intermittent. Doesnt happen often and it hasnt happened in a few months, but now its starting again. While im driving down the highway the wheel will start to jerk slightly to the right, jerking harder and harder until its difficult to drive in a straight line. Last...

hi all, just finished front end repairs; upper & lower ball joints, outer tie rods, rotors & brakes. abs light never any issues prior to dismantling. i removed them very carefully and made sure to carefully reinstall them. once everything was buttoned up, guess what.... yup, light ON...

Before I even spend $20 I'd like to check my rear abs sensor. Any idea on what range it should read on an ohm meter? Front ones too if you've got that info. But both front read the same.97 xlt awd 5.0L

I've read almost every message here on abs problems.I still have no clue on what to look at next. I have a 97 Explorer AWD 5L V-8. noticed last winter abs would kick in near the bottom of brake pedal travel when stopping. I've never had the ABS light come on. It was on slippery roads so I...

I have been working on this 97 XLT ranger L4 2.3L. Having emission and abs problems. I have been googled to this site many times and have found it VERY helpful! Thank you all... I just got done with a temperature blend door replacement thanks to this site (of course i forget the poster). The...
