Try a Reset then see what codes you pull.

Battery and Charging system ok?

puter connections? or Main connector.. Water in connector?

One is Pump failure and Nothing to do with a wheel pickup sounds more like its electrical.

Disconnect Neg battery few mins, Hit brake pedal once just to use any remaining voltage.. Your scanner may have a reset mode. Check fuses to ABS Under hood and inside.. In manual for Numbers..

So after the resets, what remains?

Whick ABS scaner you got? There should be a manual with it to explain each code.
If it was me, I will check each code first and re-set the ABS memory. Then run and aply break to caue NEW error code, then read new error code...

Finaly, you will now where is wrong.

I suffered these damn ABS error and did not get any way to read and explain them for a long time.

Beside buying expensive afternmarket ABS scaner or go to Ford dealor, Any one know any way to read these ABS error code ?

Evey one can benefit from this.

The codes are in history, and should be dropped after so many cycles, I think 50? Once you have so many good cycles with no codes it should be wiped clean.

they came back the codes, is the abs unit a one piece unit or two? can i get the abs unit rebuilt? thanks.

my neighbour across the street has the same year van and is having the same problem and the same codes.

Go to http://www.modulemaster.com/ they sell rebuilt units.
Check price and exactly what they need.

can i drive the van without the abs unit installed?

Ask if they have a rebuilt unit they will ship you and refund the core charge when you ship yours back. Otherwise you will have to make connections so all the fluid won't leak out. Probably cheaper to rent a car than do this.

i have read in other forums there is infomation in the abs unit that needs to be uploaded and the downloaded in tro the new abs mod, is this true? does the new unit need to be bench bled? or just dropped in. thanks
