Speedometer not working..

[Z_Drifter_87]

Well for those of you who have read and replied with advice on the problem.. I was finally able to save some cash and take my care to a mechanic..
Well There were 9 DTC's that came up and the mechanic told me that i would need to probable replace my ABS module.. now my question.. should i take it off myself, check for any loose connections and what not.. or how should i go about this.. He wants to charge me 700+ to fix it when the part is only 200 on ebay.. and i managed to find it at a junk yard for 150.. So any more advice guys.. Thanks a whole lot..

If you're handy with tools, and if the ABS module is easy to get to do it yourself.

And his next question:

"Where is the ABS module"? :lol:

 

[Right on the Mark]

in the trunk, right next to the thingamajig-a-bob! LOL

 

[Frogman]

Aha! The Thingamajig-a-bob is the coolant fill cap, isn't it?

Could you post those 9 DTCs? Perhaps you don't really need an ABS module after all. It's a low likely hood that you would.

Do you have AdvanceTrac or just traction control? If you have Advancetrac, a recal procedure will have to be run after replacing the ABS module. This requires a Ford specific scan tool with the ability to run that procedure.

No, you have AdvanceTrac, which has traction control as one of its features.

P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction - Vehicle speed sensing is done by the ABS module using the wheel speed sensors.

P1000 OBD Systems Readiness Test Not Complete - Don't worry about this one.

p2106 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited Power - Often a result of marginal COPs (Coil On Plug)

41039 - not a valid code

b1676 - Battery Voltage out of range - would need to know which module this one came from.

b1342 - ECU is defective. Need to know which module reported this. It can come from any of the following modules.
Rear parking aid
FEM
DATC
heated/cooled seat module
Instrument cluster
Driver's seat module
Driver's door module
REM
RCM (SRS/airbags)
ABS
message center
nav system
Radio/CD
Electronic parking brake

If it is from the ABS, then you do indeed need a new ABS module.

b1875 - Turn Signal/Hazard Switch Signal Circuit Failure - Instrument cluster

u1041 - SCP (J1850) Invalid or Missing Data for Vehicle Speed - FEM

u1262 - SCP (J1850) Communication Bus Fault - E Brake
