My '96 Explorer 5.0 powered 02 Ranger lights up the ABS lamp any time the truck goes over about 5 mph.

The light always resets on shut down, won't re-light until driven over that same speed again.

The odd thing, even with the light on, my ABS code scanner does not pick up a fault code.

Not even sure where to begin on this one.

Anyone have an idea?

Can you get live data? If so watch the speed sensors and see which one(s) are reading incorrectly.

Pulled all three ABS sensors looking for damage, checked the wiring runs and they all looked good.

Wiped them off, reassembled and no more ABS light??? Weird but I'll take it.

Metal contamination or a bad connection could have done it.
