2004 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0L SOHC, 145k miles, RWD
ABS light came on a couple weeks ago. Symptoms are very consistent each day.
Go out in the morning to leave for work and start the engine. ABS light is on. As soon as the vehicle starts moving, the light goes off.
However fast you get moving in your driveway or the parking lot at work; when you step on the brake pedal, the ABS system false activates (pedal pulsates).
After you drive about a quarter mile down the road, the ABS light comes back on, and the brake system feels normal until the next time the vehicle is turned off.
I have a buddy with a scan tool, but he is not able to read ABS codes.
I often stop at O-R (close to my house) and have them read CEL codes when they come on. I'm not sure if they can read ABS codes? I have not stopped in there and asked yet.
If they can't read it, what would be my next step to try to figure out the root cause of my issue?
If it is likely a wheel speed sensor (I have no idea, just throwing that out there), how would I know which one?
TIA
