I'm not ready to admit we got totally suckered buying this 97 Ranger, yet.. but, now the ABS light has come on, lol. I decided that investing in a OBD2 scanner capable of reading ABS codes was smart. Got an Innova 6030P off Amazon, overnight was available so it was on my porch before I woke up. Hope it can tell me wtf is wrong. Already checked the obvs: fuse is fine, fluid is fine. Need to check the tires PSI. If that's fine then it's either the pump/module or a wheel speed sensor. #DIY
Ok well, tested the scanner. Pulled the same code for the fuel system the neighbor's did so I know that works. Couldn't test the ABS because the light wasn't on this morning. Partner about to go to work so we'll see if it comes on while she's driving it today. Test it again this evening if it does.
Took a while to pair the scanner to its app. Eventually had to reinstall the damn app lol. Isn't necessary to use the app but it is a nice backup/parts finder so why not have it, I guess.
Fucking of course the ABS light went on almost as soon as she left for work, lol. Guess I'll be testing it again this evening.
