Ford - Explorer :: 2003 - ABS Light On


Feb 21, 2014

I have 2003 Explorer just fixed the engine and all other repairs to get it to pass inspection. However the ABS light is on. I had to replace all rotors and therefor had to press caliper plungers in. Could this have caused the ABS light to come on? I replaced one wheel hub so there is a new abs line on that wheel. Will bleeding the brake lines resolve this? Should I spray the abs connectors with electronics cleaner? Do something else entirely?

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 - Water Leaking From Dome Light?

My 03 explorer leaks water from the dome light and from the mounting bracket for the sunvisor on drivers side when we have a heavy rain. I have had back to the dealer 4 times. They have resealed luggage racks twice and cleaned drain holes for sunroof twice. The body shop manager has told me he has fixed hundreds of these and he has also told me that all sunroofs leak. The most recent visit I was told not to park on an incline. If I knew that this vehicle could only be driven when the sun was out , I would have never bought it.

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 - 4wd High Light Keeps Flashing 10 Times

So I just bout an 03 explorer with 85k miles on it last month. the 4wd high light keeps flashing 10 times. i read the thread below and found this...

Diagnostic Flash Code Information
NOTE: The following flash codes 1 through 16 are
On-Board Diagnostic

(OBD) codes generated by the control module. If a system fault is detected, the control module will "flash out" the corresponding fault code on the electronic four-wheel drive Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel. Also, notice that all the codes that can be generated pertain only to the speed sensors, the clutch coil and clutch with the exception of the first flash code.

The electronic four-wheel drive system also includes the brake switch input, Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch input, one power and two ground lines, along with the E-4WD MIL. The following pinpoint tests include testing on every electronic four-wheel drive circuit and not just those covered by the flash codes.

DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODE CHART
Flash CodeDescriptionAction to Take
Inoperative or Erratic System Errors.Complete Tests AA through DD.
1Microprocessor RAM (Random Access Memory) access error.Replace Control Module.
2Clutch connector or clutch coil has discontinuity.GO to Step FF1.
3Front output speed sensor connector or internal circuitry of sensor has discontinuity.Go to Step EE1.
4Rear output speed sensor connector or internal circuitry of sensor has discontinuity.Go to Step EE1.
5Both front and rear speed sensor connectors and/or internal circuitry of sensors have discontinuity.Go to Step EE1.
6Clutch and front sensor connectors and/or clutch coil and/or internal circuitry of sensor have discontinuity.First see Step FF1, then Step EE1.
7Clutch and rear sensor connectors and/or clutch coil and/or internal circuitry of sensor have discontinuity.First see Step FF1, then Step EE1.
8Clutch and both sensor connectors and/or clutch coil and/or internal circuitry of sensors have discontinuity.First see Step FF1, then Step EE1.
9Mechanical problem that allows clutch plates to slip during clutch engagement (or faulty sensor output signal).First see Step FF1, then Step EE1.

12Both Code 9 and Code 4.See action for Code 9.
13Both Code 9 and Code 5.See action for Code 9.
14Both Code 9 and Code 6.See action for Code 9.
15Both Code 9 and Code 7.See action for Code 9.
16Both Code 9 and Code 8.See action for Code 9.
Regeneration (Recovery) of Flash Codes

If the ignition is turned OFF and the code is lost, the ignition will have to be turned ON again to regenerate codes 1 through 8, if the condition or conditions still exist. To regenerate codes 9 through 16, the vehicle must be driven again.

How accurate is this information? also where can i find a replacement clutch connector? New to fords so I am not sure where to get parts.

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 XLT - Rubbing Or Light Grinding Sound When Put In Park

I got a strange one. 03 expl 4x4 xlt, started making a weird sound, almost like a rubbing, or a light grinding, comparable to the sound and seat of the pants feel you would get if say you ran out of good brake lining and were creeping the car forward at half mph while dragging the breaks slightly but (except it is when you are stopped and in P). Break pads are fine, just when you come to a stop and put it in park. lasts for about 1-3 seconds. No tranny slippage or other issues yet, all seems to be working. I don't use 4x4 hardly at all but not in last 6 months since there is no snow. Since it is so short I cannot pop the hood to track it down. Torque converter? Fan clutch?

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 - Left Rear Turn Signal Brake Light Will Not Work

My wife's 2003 sportrac has developed a problem. The left rear turn signal brake light will not work. The tail light does. When you turn on the left turn signal the front bulb and the dash light flashes real fast. I have changed both, the front and rear bulbs with no luck. I've read on here about the tilt steering column deal. I have moved the steering column while operating the turn signal with no change.

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 - Idle Surge When Stop At A Light Or Just Running In Park - Code P2197

I have a 2003 ford Explorer xlt v8 4.6 with a P2197 code.(02 sensor bank2 sensor1)...

I had code P2195 a few months ago and replaced that 02 sensor but just recently truck threw code P2197 and is now starting to idle surge when I stop at a light or just leave it running in park.

Replaced PCV valve and the hose that goes from pcv valve to IAC also replaced Fuel Filter. Cleaned IAC, Throttle Body and MAF did the old check for vacuum leaks with can of carb cleaner nothing found.

Pulled all coil packs off checked OHMs all read .6,coil boots looked to be in good shape going to replace spark plugs and 02 sensor.

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 - Motor On Windshield Washer Water Pump Shot / Check Gauge Light Go On

I recently purchased a 2003 Explorer. Two weeks after I bought it I found out the motor on the windshield washer water pump was shot. The dealership fixed it for free. About a week after I got it back when I was driving in the morning to work I noticed the check gauge light go on and saw that my temp gauge was pointed at HOT!! I pulled over and stopped immediately. As soon as I slowed down the temp gauge went back down to normal. It happened 2 or 3 more times and had it back at the dealership. They are stumped. They sent it to a Ford dealership and they couldn't find anything either.

They said they have checked everything and it is not overheating. They even put a thermometer on it while they drove it and it didn't get over 205* I am surprised it didn't do it to them because it happens almost every morning. I only work 4.3 miles from my house so its not like I am driving very far. It usually happens at about 3 miles. As soon as I see it going up (and I watch it a lot!!) I take my foot off the gas and start to slow down or barely press the brake it goes right back to normal. Then it stays at normal the rest of the day. Is it the sensor or the wiring or did the do something to it when the fixed the washer motor?

Ford - Explorer :: 2004 - ABS Light On - 4x4 Flashing Light Every 2 To 3 Min - RF Sensor Won't Sending Signal?

Just recently purchased a 2004 Eddie Bauer Explorer w/ 110k. Took a Snap On scanner with me to look at it. ABS light was on and I also get a 4x4 high flashing light every 2-3 minutes. Blinks 8 times then goes away. Scanner showed the RF speed sensor isn't sending any mph signal back. Just reads 0. Will my problem be a new sensor or is the sensor getting a dirty signal trying to read dirty teeth on the hub? Also, will fixing this stop out with the blinking 4x4 light?

Ford - Explorer :: 2007 - ABS Light Stays On - Traction Light Coming On And Off?

The problem started with ABS light on steady and traction light coming on and off. Had a private shop check the codes and he cleared the codes. The light was out, then came back with the ABS pump running constantly, even with the key off. Had to pull the fuse to stop the pump. The code was C1095. Replaced the ABS module. Now the ABS light is blinking and the traction light is on constantly. Codes shown are P1000, B2477, C1095, and B2290.

Ford - Explorer :: 1998 - Brake Light Is On / CEL Code P0743 / OD Light Flashes Constantly

My girlfriend just bought a 98 XLT AWD 4.0. does have a few problems.

First, the brake light is on (on the dash). all the lines are good, but the front pads need to be changed. if i take off hard, the brake light goes out for a bit.

Second, had a CEL. P0743, torque converter clutch circuit blah blah. also, the o/d light flashes constantly.

The trans shifts fine, even under WOT. also goes into o/d with no problems, and the button works.

Ford - Explorer :: 2005 - 4x4 High Light Flashes And ABS Light Came On

I have an 05 explorer with advance trac (which the sensor is bad for) and my abs light came on and my 4x4 light flashes. I read a lot about the tone rings and the speed sensors could be bad, but would they cause the truck to engage 4x4 when going slow and the 4x4 seems to be sticking/grinding. Something doesn't seem right and I'm not sure if its this sensor issue or if my transfer case is bad... We also just replaced a hub/bearing on the drivers front about 2 months ago.

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 - Keeps Overheating A Lot

My family has a 2003 Ford Explorer that overheats a lot. We have taken it to 16-17 garages and they cannot find out what's wrong with it. It overheats when its hot outside, or when we are going up hills. The temperature gauge does not gradually go from C to H It goes straight to H. Then we have to pull over and wait for it cool down, when it finally goes back to C we start to drive again. One time this happened 11 times in 1 day! We put an average of 45,000 miles on this car every year. We need a solution to this problem.

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 Will Only Run For 1 Second When Try To Start

The vehicle was parked in driveway for a week not previously involved in any collision or rough terrain

When do try to start is only runs for 1 second
The inertia switch was not set
There is 50+- lbs pressure in the fuel line when the switch is first turned on

Hitting the inertia switch will cause the switch to set
The switch will reset
Testing for continuity when the switch is normal there is no "juice" from pole 1 to pole 2 and 3
After activating e.g. hitting the switch there is "juice" for pole 1 to pole 2

Am I wrong in thinking it is the inertia switch....
