My abs light came on a few days ago after taking a back road through some fairly deep snow/water. It has been on since and its kinda annoying since the cruise is disabled. Anyway i was just wondering if anyone had any easy places to check first? 2nd is will any code reader work with the crd? thanks |

Could be 1 or more bad wheel sensors, is your odometer working? |

Other than Starscan (OEM$$$$), Innova 3160 is the only affordable scanner that will read ABS codes on my '05 CRD. However, it will NOT read anything else. I use a 3030 for engine codes. I have nothing to suggest for trans codes. However, the '05 and '06 have slightly different electronic architecture. Some '06 owners can read engine codes with a 3160. Sorry not to have better news.

trip/odo/ and speedo all work as normal. Man thats a little pricey just to read an abs problem. The odd thing is before it trips the light for the first few yards i can panic stop and the abs system works as normal, until the light comes on and disables everything. |

I had the same problem on mine. It was a short in the wire of the speed sensor on the rear pumpkin differential. There is a single sensor that is bolted onto the forward portion of the rear pumpkin. There are two wires coming from it. I thought it was a bad sensor so I purchased a new sensor. After replacing the sensor I was looking at the old sensor and the constant up and down motion of the rear axle caused a short in the wire. Word to the wise if you solder in a new sensor instead of just replacing the shorted wire make sure you watch the polarity. I didn't and upon testing I still had the light on. I reversed the wires and the light went out and has been working well for the last 30 k miles and counting. Hope this helps. Believe the sensor was held in with one bolt. ??? |

He has an 2006, so he has ABS sensors at the rear wheels and not on the differential like the 2005. |

I'll have to stop in at a few local garages (not dealers) and see if they can read the code for me and go from there i guess. It wouldn't be a big deal if the cruise would work. |
