ABS codes are stored in a seperate place than engine/OBD codes. You will need a ford chassis code reader ($$$$) or get a dealer/repair shop to scan it for you.

A few things that might be worth checking:

- brake fluid level
- are you running two very different size tires front and back?
- connections to the ABS module and CCRM and secure and not interrupted

I've got the same basic thing going on myself. I just don't get any noise. It is intermittent. I started getting mine after I changed my diff fluid. I don't know what the connection is between them. It also won't stay on long enough to run an ABS scanner on. It comes on for about 10 minutes and then goes out. I know my fluid is good. I gotta check the other items listed by 35thAnni99GT.
