Hello,
Driving a 2005 Explorer, 101k, 6cyl, 4,0 SOHC.
A couple of days ago I had the dreaded "ABS" light as well as the Advtrac "Off" light come on. It also would have the 4x4 light blink intermittenly, most at stops. Hooked up the computer and came up with an error code of B1145 (Bad R/F Wheel Sensor). So I replaced the sensor.
When I backed out of my driveway do to a test drive I got a horibble grinding noise as well as a loss of power. I immediatly pulled back in my driveway and completely disconnected the sensor, checked everything out and then reinstalled as I wanted to be sure evrything was seated and installed correctly.
On test drive number 2 I got the same thing. As I was about to turn around, something "clicked in" and everything started to work fine. The "ABS" light came on again as well Advtrac "Off" light but the truck ran fine with no grinding, loss of power or pulsating brakes
When I turn the truck off and then restart it, the "ABS" light is on. As soon as I back out, the grinding and loss of power starts again for about 20 feet, then th Advtrac "Off" light kicks on and the truck starts to drive normally.
Some more info that I have no idea means anything:
-I did disconnect the battery after I installed the new sensor to reset the cpu.
-Checked for play on the HUB and there was none at all.
I did save the old sensor, should I put it back on and see if the grinding/loss of power continues? Just seems weird that I didnt have any other syptoms besides the dummy lights with the old sensor. It really does feel like something "kicks in" after driving 20-30 feet.
Any input would be apprieciated.
Thanks,
Rich
