'97 ABS light

I have a 1997 4WD standard cab XLT. The ABS light has come on and does not go out. What are the possible causes and their remedies? Most grateful for any/all advice. Dan

This happened to me too once. I put my truck in neutral and shut it off and started it back up. This cleared it and it hasnt come back on since

Dan,

Welcome aboard!

Read this thread: ABS Light in it's entirety.

Assuming you have RABS, it will get you well on your way. If you have 4WABS, you'll need to go to a shop with an ABS-Capable scanner to have codes pulled if you so desire.

If you get anything other than a "9" code as described, let us know and we'll look it up. The "9" is, by far, the most common problem (rear diff sensor) but not the only one.
