Good Morning everybody!
So, here is where I am at. I have a 2009 Ranger (FX4). Truck has 38000 miles, in good shape. The ABS system recently started kicking in when braking and turning at low speeds, like say pulling into a parking spot at a store. It has continued and now will engage when coming to a stop when straight. It only kicks in at speeds less that 3-5 miles and hour. There is no ABS light or brake light.
I suspect wheel speed sensors, and checked them. FSM says resistance should be between 380 and 480 ohms. Both sensors check out with 430-435 ohms. I will check the rear sensor a little later today. (Edit: Checked, falls right where it should at 1900 ohms)
My gut it telling me that I will probably need new wheel bearings, since there could be dirt or debris in there that really wouldn't be able to be cleaned out. I would probably use either Timken or Moog, since they seem to be the best available. (I'm open to recommendations).
If anyone has any guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.
