2001 f53 abs

[JoePut]

Can anyone tell me which code reader will read ABS codes on a 2001 F53

Scangauge or SCT X3 are a couple. The links point to iRV2.com sponsors/members, the SCT will come with custom tunes, the Scangauge may allow you to read things like transmission temperature. Both allow reading/resetting codes.

I would bet you will not see any ABS codes on either of these units.
You will need something a little more involved than a "parts store" scanner
OBD I and OBD II engine codes are easy for any simple handheld scanner/code reader. ABS, Air Bag, and Transmission codes require more purpose intended scanners, like the Snap-On Solus, or OTC's System 3. While Both are excelent scanners, they can cost upward of $4000.00. not something most do-it-yourselfers have access to. Ideally, one would have the scanners that the dealers have, like the NGS Tester for the Fords, and the Tech 2 for the GM's, and The Current DRB for the Chrysler Stuff. But That gets difficult, not to mention, rather expensive. I am personally Demoing the new Snap-On Solus Pro. Might be my next big purchase. I am, however already somewhat discouraged, as it will not talk to a Jeep Liberty Diesel.

HotMech is right when my ABS light came on I had to use my friends reader who has a brake shop. Said it was the speed control reader in the right rear. But the speed reader is in the 3rd member not at each rear wheel. Replaced the sensor in the 3rd member and all was well.
