Abs light on

[jsa]

Have you checked continuity all the way from the ABS module to the sensor and cap? I'm not fully understanding your description of the tests you did on the cap.

Code 22 & 24 are valve block faults from the closest info I have. LH & RH front inlet solenoids.

The attached is for a Granada of similar vintage.

The info I have is not EsCos specific, but is Teves relevant.

Can't hurt to check the valves

Hi All,
Spent most of the day trying to figure out what's going on with the reader! So, I've managed to get two codes out of it, one was 2 and 2 and the other is 2 and 4 so turns out according to Mr Google! 2 flashes then 2 flashes say it's the right hand front wheel sensor? Then 2 and 4 is the brake fluid reservoir filler cap! So! I started with the wheel sensor and checked ohms which came back in range at 1200 ohms. At this stage I didn't have a real great multimeter. So I tried the old sensor I have and same result. Didn't know what else to do, so I pulled connection plugs off brake reservoir and cleaned them with contact cleaner with no change to codes! Then had the shits , so drove it to my local auto elec to see if he knew anything about the code reader or how to go about working out how to solve the problem? Which he informed me to get a decent multimeter and check for connectivity which I did and tested the plugs on the brake reservoir which the back wires with three connects beeped when I stuck the probes in but the front with two didn't? Any information regarding this would be much appreciated. Just don't know if I'm barker up the right tree, so to speak!
Regards Garth.

Ok, post here if you have any questions.

Yes thanks John. I have found that one.
I might need to call on you if I don't have any success with this reader? If that's ok?

I have a post on here, somewhere, about the fault code connectors on my EsCos having different pinout polarity. Something to be aware of.

Hi All,

So I've finally received a "Vintage" lol Gunson's Fault Code Reader!

I'm busily try to understand theses posts on how to use it.
Wish me luck! I'm going to need it.
I've just got to find the time to get up the shed and have a go.
Last time I was up there the cars still the same, I always leave the earth lead off the battery when not in use.
Connect earth, turn ignition on let the ABS pump prime, started car let run and ABS light went out for about a about a minute then came back on wouldn't go out again. Then stays solid. Until I do the whole process again! So I'm guessing it's not as bad as last time

# doubled up on the post!

Hi All,

I'm just going to give this thread a boot as the good ol ABS light has made it's return!
I'm yet to investigate, so I'll leave it at that for now until I get to the bottom of what's going on? Seems to be intermittent atm, hoping it's just a lose plug somewhere or something of the sort??? CheeRs Garth.

No mate, this one's on the left side of the boot hatch behind the carpet!

He asked for g-sensor, not he abs modul

[escossi]

Is that the one under the drivers seat?

Yes it is

Escos got g-sensor on abs, haven`t seen that on other Ford`s, so think the module will be escos only

Just an update on the module. Kind friend from Facebook Gary Bell has tracked a second hand one out of Germany, so fingers crossed it's a goer?

lucky its in a sealed unit really as some nasty burning been going on there
