ABS Codes

I have a 2003 f150 4.2L. The engine light came on the other day and it punched out 6 ABS related codes. Here is the list.

C1194 Left Front Outlet Valve Coil Circuit Failure
C1198 Left Front Inlet Valve Coil Circuit Failure
C1202 (ABS) Dump Valve Coil Rear Circuit Failure
C1206 (ABS) Isolation Valve Coil Rear Circuit Failure
C1210 Right Front Outlet Valve Coil Circuit Failure
C1214 Right Front Inlet Valve Coil Circuit Failure.

To me this seems like more that just a 1 unit problem. Can anyone advise me on these group of codes? My thought is the ABC module

Here is my analysis based on the ABS section of service manual.
Codes C1194/1199, 1202/1206, 1210/1214 are pairs in the diagnostic section.
They all point to the 'same' E2, to E4, E5, then to E6 test sections depending on test results in each.
Since they are in both the front and rear, my feeling is E5 is the common point.
That is an 'internal sensor' fault in the ABS unit.
Its your place to determine what to do as this is only a paper analysis and could be in any of the other E tests.
Even an open lead back to the control unit.
The tests are played out in the factory diagnostic section D subsections E2,4, 5, and 6.
You really need a factory test tool to signal the unit for results of an operation requested by the tool as instructed to make..
Otherwise its change parts trying to get lucky or let a good dealer shop do it for $$$$$.
Let the forum know what you do to fix the issue.
Good luck.

The ABS system cannot cause the "engine light" to come on.

Check the fuses that supply power to the ABS system first, those are all electrical circuit faults.
