ABS code 17

[MDK231]

Hi everyone. My 1994 explorer with 4WABS has its ABS light on. Finally got it to show me code 17.

17: Reference Voltage/Intermittent Valve Fault

Anyone have any experience tracking this one down?

I Need to get a salvage title vehicle inspection and everything need to be perfect.

Thanks!

If the wire harness looks undamaged, you probably need a replacement ABS unit. If you have access to a wire diagram, check power and ground before calling the unit bad.

On Rangers, the unit is on the the driver's side, either in the engine bay close to the master cylinder or it's on the frame rail below the master cylinder. Look for a bunch of brake lines comming off of an aluminum block looking thing.

Thanks for the thought of the wiring harness. While the harness itself is great, thought I should clean and check all the fuses, solenoids, and grounds. This did the trick! Light is off and codes are clear

Well the abs light has come back.

Giving me code 63 pump motor.

Light only comes on if you slip the clutch and the engine dies out a bit. Otherwise it stays out. Thoughts?
