O.K, so I read many of the threads concerning this if not all and this is what I found, holpfully it will help others.
Wife's 03 Explorer pops up an ABS light about 3-5 times week. Then it goes away for a week and then come back. So I go to a co-worker who has access to and ABS scanner, and in less then five minutes he gets a code out of the vehicle.
C1440 Pressure Transducer Main / Primary signal Faulted
He goes to his online little helpers and finds out its the so called pressure transducer, he goes out to vehicle and points at the sensor, switch whatever on the front top of master cylinder and says change this out and your good. I ask what about beeding the system or anything he laughs and says just be quick.:notworthy
So call my local small mom and pop mechanic who is very honest and does the work when I can't handle it. I ask about the C1440 code, and he says easy five minute job and there should be no need to bleed brakes something I can do myself, no need to have us do it.
I call all auto parts stores, no stocky. Call stealership, parts guy says he has six in stock and they are $19.93. I ask for my local public employee discount, part is now $15.94.
I race home get a 7/8 deep socket and change part in about 2-3 minutes. No fuss no muss no bleeding no leaking.
Test drive car, give back to wife to drive and so far no more codes.
Parts guy at Ford says they keep about 6-10 in stock as the are very common to go out and they replace about 5 a week at $200 a pop. Parts guy calls it a "criuse control safety switch" that ties into ABS system.
