Not too sure what's funny about that. The first digit being "C" means it's a chassis code, and the "xxx" are stuck in a variables cause I forgot what the exact OBDII codes for the wheel speed sensors are. I didn't want to throw out numbers and possibly try and lead him down the wrong path. Unlike most of this section, I actually like to make sure I know what I'm talking about before I start spewing random bull**** out of my ***.

 

coxxx it sounds like ***** thats what hes laughing at

and +1 to speed sensor or you pulled the wire or something little like that

 

Well, it's getting put up on jack stands today. We'll see what happens..Thanks for the advice guys.

 

yeah i understood what you said Xemeth no need to throw a temper tantrum and rant about your greatness... i was just playin around

Moontang understood

 

Wow. So today has been an experience. I jacked up the front of the car and pulled the front wheels. Checked the sensors on both sides. Passenger side looks suspiciously like it may have been changed once before. Has anyone else had to change a wheel sensor? Where do you disconnect them? Cleaned both and re-installed. ABS light still on. Started to do the rear brakes (since I already had my tools out) when I ran into a problem... Cleaned and re-installed the sensor on the drivers side, then tried to compress the caliper (as shown in the Haynes manual) and it would not compress. Anyone else run into this? I actually snapped my 4" C clamp in half trying to compress the caliper. The only up side I can find so far is that it gave me a chance to scrub the dirt out of the inside of my wheels. Seriously though, did I miss something somewhere? I didn't have the parking brake set, and I had the cap off the brake fluid reservoir. All suggestions appreciated.

 

The rear brakes need a special tool. They need to be compressed and turned in (clockwise) to compress. You can probably rent the tool at AutoZone or something.

 

Well that explains it. Why in the hell would Ford build something like that? Anybody have any idea what that tool is called?

 

Just go to AutoZone and ask for the brake caliper piston tool. They should know what you're talking about.

And it's not just Ford. A lot of car companies use this style of piston on their car's rear brakes. Beats the **** out of my why, but they do.

 

Good luck, its pretty easy to do

 

Thanks guys. Should be done this evening.
