| Post subject: | 4WABS codes |
On a '99 4.6l v8 4wd, the abs light has come on and remains on. After searching here, sounds like it might be the rear speed sensor although with a 4WABS it might be either of the front 2 as well. Is there any posted procedure to retrieve a 4WABS code and listing of the diagnosis? Would a parts store ODBII(?) reader pick it up? The Haynes book states a few simple things to check and other than those, take it to a mechanic. Any help would be gretaly appreciated. thanks |

I had the same problem a few months ago. I am still not sure about the light. I baught the speed sensor from kragen. Its like 12 bucks or something. The light went out for like an hour, and then it came back on. Its still on, but i just dont know what to do. I think getting the codes requires you to have a break code reader. Otherwise i have slammed on my breaks and they havent locked up. |

To read 4WABS codes requires an advanced OBDII scanner with ABS support. These scanners start at around $1000 per, so most shops don't even have them. Without a scanner and the DTC(s), you're left with making a few simple resistance checks of the wheel sensors. Unplug them (there are three) and see what they measure. They typically are around 1000 - 1500 ohms. For the rear sensor, clean off any buildup of iron particles as they can interfere with the magnetic switch. Steve |
