2001 ranger

Thank you for the diagram, If the Mountaineer ABS module will swap over with a bit of wiring , I will give that a shot.
I already have the 8.8 out of the mountaineer on the ranger and the tire sizes are the same, so there should be no discrepancies.

I did see an online diagram for Explorer 4WABS that had an added acceleration sensor, 3 wire sensor located in frame rail, but there was no year listed on that diagram

Copy and pasted from another post ..

II: mount the explorer “G-Force Transducer” to the ranger. It mounts on the drivers side frame rail directly next to the fuel pump. Its connector is connector C312.

III: there are three wires coming from the “G-Force Transducer”, an OG/BK wire circuit # 886, a YE wire circuit # 887, and an OG/WH wire circuit # 836. These three wires need to be extended all the way to the ABS connector C135.

IV: connect the OG/BK wire circuit # 886, to pin #14 on C135. This pin on the connector will be empty.

V: connect the YE wire, circuit # 887 to pin # 13 on C135. you will have to disconnect the wire that is currently there, it is the brake pressure switch and will no longer be needed.

VI: connect the OG/WH wire, circuit # 836 to pin #1 on connector C135. This pin on the connector will be empty.

VII: pin # 19 on connector C135 is the VSS signal output, circuit # C679. Connect a GY/BK wire to pin # 19 on connector C135 and splice it into pin # 32 on connector C146 (the grey firewall connector). This will tie the new conditioned VSS signal into all the other systems.

VIII: plug the explorer 4WABS module into connector C135 and bolt the module onto the ABS system.

Hi RonD,

I just swapped the ABS module off the mountaineer to the ranger, with only ABS pin 19 connected to the Ecu and cluster.
Speedo is now working, scanner does not report any codes .. I have the 3 wires de-pinned off the mountaineer ABS connector ready if need be.

Thanks for your help.

Too early on the post.. truck just turned the ABS light on for a missing sensor (who would have thought) Only happened when going over 50 mph and braking hard.
Off to add wires and mount the G sensor.

Added the G sensor and all the wiring, ranger is happy now! Ford Even have holes slotted in the chassis for the sensor on the Ranger that matches the position on the Mountaineer.
