I decided to replace the abs sensor($20) on the differential(guy at ford dealer said they go bad quite often) and it did not help.I had my doubts, but gave it a try.The code I got was a 17(possible relay, fuse, intermittent valve failures, opens or shorts to ground,high resistance valves etc) when I did the test prior.I tried swapping the horn relay with the ABS relay in the Distribution box which had the same numbers on them and that did not make the lite go out.I only started the vehicle in the garage which I felt should be enough to make the lite go out if the sensor or relay was the culprit.Are there any resistance readings on the wires comeing from the rear sensor that I should look for.One reads 5k and the other has very high res.Would like to fix the problem if possible.thanks

vehicle starts and runs but will start to stall out from a stop. will often stall out when slowing down. did all summer. this winter i noted that the the battery gauge would start to go down first and then it would quit.the needle sits on the M but when it starts the stall outs it sits on the R. it did oscillate a couple of time at night and the gauge went up and down as the lights brightened and dimmed. one mechanic stated he thought it was the trottle sensor. but there has been a few times where after it has done the stop and i restart that it just cranked and cranked and cranked, with no restart, but as soon as i turn it completely off and hit the key it starts back up. ignition module? or stick of dynamite

Replying to: bavington (Dec 03, 2007 5:41 pm) 17 Reference Voltage/Intermittent Valve Fault Possible Source(s): · 30 amp fuse open. · Intermittent connections to battery, main relay or ground.  driver's side radiator support and; · Main relay coil or contacts open. MIESK5 note; check relay contacts FOR corrosion pull relay again & ck ; also see Fig. 12 and on (in below LINK) for pin point tests of CODE 17 -· Open or short to ground in Circuit 532 (O/Y). · Open or short to ground in Circuit 599 (PK/LG). · Open or short to ground in Circuit 601 (LG/PK).MIESK5 note; FROM FUSE PANEL 30 amp fuse · Short to ground through anti-lock hydraulic control unit. · Intermittent valve failures. · High resistance valves. So, ck that Relay's contacts (not the relay's contacts, but the connector's contacts.) Here is Chilton's wiring diagram via autozone; you will see all above ckts and color codes in Fig. 8: 4-wheel ABS testing-1993-96 Bronco models http://www1.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/0a/a4/89/0900823d800aa489/repa- - irInfoPages.htm Also, R values for all in Fig. 10: Read thru all of that Chilton stuff; can save you $ btw, the rear ABS sensor on the diff would give Code 57. GL!

Replying to: scooter692002 (Dec 03, 2007 2:59 pm) Most likely; Could be just a head gasket which has blown between those two cylinders, sticky valve(s) etc. or worse; Another possibility is that the camshaft is broken in an area that operates valves for two adjacent cylinders. not likely.. read more here Compression Testing, Stem Source: by tradervar.com http://www.tradervar.com/Stem%20Compression%20Tester.pdf A leakdown will determine whats going on in those cylinders,look inside the radiator for any "brown foam" to see if the head gasket is blown.Aside from that the leakdown will tell you all thats going on GL! |
