Abs light question 2001 v6

[AuroraNoobie]

i would assume yes to my question but simply asking for others knowledge here..

recently replaced front brake lines and had to disconnect the abs block where all the lines come out

bled all the lines of air and since then abs light has been on.

after putting a few hundred miles on since i started looking around at the rotors i noticed LR caliper is stuck and pads are not making contact with the rotor would this trip the abs?

i have new rotors and pads in box but haven't had time to replace them yet as my dads 40 coupe is still in the garage at the moment

if fixing the stuck caliper does not shut abs light off where should i go from there? 

any help/info is appreciated and happy thanksgiving!


Edit: i will also have more questions regarding the cruise control in the future should i ask them in this thread or start a new one, thanks again

Not knowing exactly I say:

Get your basic brake functions working correctly

If that doesn't fix it:

Get your ABS code pulled

Bet you have to inspect that connector and hub bearing

You will need to get the codes pulled. You may need to do an automated bleed of the abs module which can be done with a compatible scan tool

yeah this old ford is still in the shop, putting in air ride suspension changing upper/lower control arms and a new power steering rack, thought it was going to be somewhat less of a headache than it is being..

hard stuff is done just waiting on a few fittings so hopefully next week can pull in the aurora and start on it.

also the scan tool i have is an older matco it has olds intrigue but don't think it has aurora in it ill have to see about that..

So i finally got around to getting her into the bay, Yanked the rear wheel and what do i see???

The abs sensor was not plugged in lol

Gotta blame it on my buddy who put that side back together right? At least he didn't leave the lug nuts loose!!

My fault really after we got done and the abs light came on i should have just ripped all the wheels off and checked around but really wanted to be done for the day..

So i guess with out the sensor plugged it it must trigger the brake box into not applying pressure to that wheel when the vehicle is running, thus no friction on my rotor and my thoughts led to a stuck caliper..

Anyways its fixed now, all lights are off and abs working as it should now..

Winter here and i will wait until spring for the sand/salt to be washed off the roads before i swap in the drilled/slotted rotors..

Yeah, that'll definitely give you an ABS light!

Double check that rear rotor though. All the EBCM does when a bad/unplugged wheel speed sensor is detected is shut the system down; no ABS, no traction control, no StabiliTrak. However, you should still have regular brakes at all four corners...

yeah i figured while i had the wheel off id just take the caliper off and pop out the piston just in case, only took like 15-25 pounds of air and it popped out so i dunno it looks good to me but will keep an eye on it

thanks for all the advice !!!
