ABS light and no tc lockup

[96EDGEpsd]

all of a sudden a few weeks ago my abs light came on, and the tc wont lock at all, i checked the brake fluid level and it was fine, i just did a brake job on it, new everything all the way around... is there a sensor somwhere?

I've heard of that before but don't remember the exact cause. The obvious is check all the fuses and make sure none of the signal bulbs have broken shorted filiments, including the 3rd brake light.

The RABS control module is near the glove box IIRC, so you could check connections to that. There is a way to get the RABS codes too, but I don't have a manual handy...

EDIT not sure if this will help but this has RABS code reading for aerostars, sounds similar to what I did for mine years ago...

the diagnostics wire will be at the module behind the glovebox, that much I remember... I think

It could be the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). It's located on the top-front of the Rear-end. + or - 25.00 to replace.

It picks up magnetic signals from the Ring Gear Revs. Those signals control allot of things like.. Cruise Control, ABS and Transmission commands.

Hope this helps.

2wheel or 4wheel ABS?
Problem started just after the brake job?

its 4x4, its been a while since the problem started, but im pretty sure it started after i did the brakes...im thinking its that speed sensor just a hunch...my evolution doesnt pick up any codes

check the sending unit on top of the master cylinder, it will fool the sysstem in to thinking you have applied the brakes, hence no convertor lock-up, don't know about the abs light.

ill check that, i replaced the sensor on the rear diff and the light still comes on at 15mph...now its starting to be a pain....
