I have a 97 F350 7.3psd 4x4 with a single ABS sensor on rear axle- Had fuel pump issues last week and after the repair the ABS light came on. I have never had this light on before. Any way of troubleshooting this! any help would be great!!!

Will abs codes transmit through the OBDII port on our PSD's?

I have tried to communicte with the abs system thru the obd2 connector but get no reading , says I have to use another adapter and jumper wire to a connector up under dash that I haven't found yet( think its tucked up on steer column somewhere) although they say it could be behind or under the glove box, haven't had a chance to do it yet. I have an older snap-on mt2500 and I think its capable of reading the codes ( updates to 2000), should get a chance to check it out this afternoon... Thanks for your replies!!!

if it wont communicate with scanner , if im not mistaken ,youll find a connector on right side under glove box ,single wire may or may not have another end connected to it ,one side wil be black wire with orange tracer and other will be a solid red wire ,if it has that setup it does have memory ,disconnect the two wires and ground the black/orange wire to dash somewhere and it will flash the code out ,if the black/orange wire is just hanging there without being connected to anything means it doesnt have memory but you stil ground it to something , the difference is that the light has to be on to diagnose system if doesnt have red wire if that makes since

I agree...check that rear wheel speed sensor...it shouldn't cost more than 80-100 beans to replace, parts and labor.

Thanks for the info Scott. My dads 87 F-250 was set up pretty much the same way, only the connector was more towards the center of the dash, up underneath.
