After much searching on the internet including this forum, I am still stumped.
I have a 2008 Ranger FX4.
On a recent drive from Calgary back to Vancouver Island, the ABS light came on while driving down the last leg of the Coquihalla highway into Hope. (it's a long, steep downhill stretch). I was mostly just running in 5th gear (manual tranmission) but at one point a slow fool did a hasty lane change and I had to use the brakes. About 5 minutes later (no longer using the brakes) the ABS light came on.
Now at home, the light is still on. I understand that the brakes work, just that the ABS system is down.
My problem: I really don't know where to start diagnosing the problem. I have a couple of OBSDII scanners, and they show no codes at all for the truck.
I'm going to start with an inspection of the tone rings and the wiring to the front sensors as well as to the rear diff sensor, but my main question is: Where is the ABS control system in the 2008 ranger? All the stuff I've read is for much older Rangers, and simply does not apply to this newer truck.
Thanks.
