ABS light on..2000 F250 SD

Mar 05, 2004 1 Replies

While driving back from Lead Hill Arkansas, (yes!! that means I just got a BTS tranny!!! And it rocks!) my ABS light came on after stopping at a rest area.



When I crank it up it goes through everything normally, but as soon as I start driving the light comes back on and stays on.



I figure it is either a sensor at one of the wheels or the VSS, but from what I've read on the Diesel Forum it sounds like if the VSS is faulty I would also have some speedometer errors, which I do not have.



So, I think the problem is an ABS sensor. How do I check them to see which one is bad or if all of them are OK?? Or does it sound like it might be another problem? Is it possible that I need brake pads? I did notice a small amount of brake squealing a day or two before this happened....



What do any of you guys think?



Thanks, John


If it was the sensor on the differential, you'd have speedo problems, probably a wheel sensor on the front. Find somebody with a code reader.
