Question is how do I reset RABS unit?
And
Does anyone have a list of ABS codes?

For a 94 ranger

Ps I know how to obtain the codes from the RABS unit just can't find code listing or reset information

ABS and airbag codes are what are called "Continuous monitor". They aren't like check engine codes that have to have the problem fixed for so long before the code goes away on its own. Once the system is exercised and the problem not seen the light will go out.

Funny you should say that. I went to pull codes and ABS light was off and has not come back on. Now engine light comes on intermittently, so when I go to pull codes light is off and no codes :bawling:.

I think it's going to stay on all the time when there's no pressure the valve body it's almost as difficult to get the light bulb out as it is to bypass the lines LOL
Bypassed in mine as well just left RABS unit in place with electrical connections still hooked up. Brake lines have been spliced together. Still don't know what caused ABS light too come on in the first place.

Mine came on when we by passed the lines and it's not gone off since. A code 4 is probably why

A quick tip that might help anyone who finds this thread is that disconnecting the control module(behind the dash on the right with the bigger connecter) and that will shut off the abs light.
