89.00 to pull an ABS code ?

[westfield]

So my ABS light goes on..the Ex brakes just fine...so i call Pep Boys to see if they can pull the codes on the abs...they say yes for $89.00 ! Anyone do it for less or is there a cheaper way I can pull the codes?

Yep save the the $89 for dinner or a spare shift motor or something. high lift jack?

Don't know if that will work for the ABS light.... not sure really.

I thought it had it's own harness?

In all seriousness, check the brake booster area for a loose harness/plug.

I had a friend with an F-150 whose ABS Light was on, I saw a plug that wasn't in, plugged it up and it was fixed. It's just worth checking.

I know that autozone there code reader won't do abs. I have tryed that, I endednup changing the relays on the passanger side. And that fixed it.

The first generation has a wire coming off of the ABS module that has to be grounded in order to read the codes. The ground signal will put it into a diagnostic mode, and the ABS light will flash a code. Check this thread for more information: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=241825
