2006 Ford Mustang with ABS light and TCS light. What do I do?
I recently got an 06 Mustang with an ABS light and TCS light on. I had it checked out just by a quick view. The guy does not believe my hub assembly or bearings are bad. I replaced the ABs sensor and it still did not seem to help. When I had it scanned the computer said it is the passenger rear ABS. I have no grinding, no noises, no issues driving, but I want to fix it properly. Does anyone have any ideas on what steps to take now?
If the sensor was replaced and the fault not sorted then the wiring is the next thing to look at
I agree with Timbo. But… Keep in mind that even with an ABS fault code you still have functioning brakes. As in years past, before ABS, the brake hydraulic system still functions without the ABS so sorting out the problem isn't an emergency concern. If the scan indicated the RR sensor and its been replaced the fault is likely in the wiring to that sensor. ABS failures don't often involve the same symptoms as a mechanical issues do because the only ABS component located at the wheel is the sensor. Every other ABS function is handled at the controller in the engine compartment.
If the traction control and ABS light are on at the same time, that points to the ABS control module being bad, as the traction control works off the ABS system.
I agree with Timbo and G-man as well. However, should the light still remain after repairing the wiring harness, do have a look at the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) and the ABS-Module itself by conducting a computerised pulse width test. I would consider this to be the last step in the diagnosis as it is particularly expensive.
I recommend taking your Mustang to the nearest Ford Dealer to be diagnosed. Our certified technicians will be able to advise you of the next steps to reach a resolution.

- Why would you think my 2008 Ford H 53 chassis Motor home engine randomly cut off and the ABS light come on? Ford Triton V10 when heading up a hill sometimes the engine will cut out and the ABS light on the dash comes on and goes out. The engine continues to run and we get home just fine. Seems like power is getting cut off or something.
- Will my abs light come on if my brake pump is going out? My 1995 ford ranger's abs light is off once I start my truck and the turns on after I roll about 20ft. And in the time before that 20ft when the light is off, if I press the brake too hard the brakes lock up. Once the light comes on braking for is basically normal
- My trucks bucked really hard and then ABS light came on? I've been having problems with my truck. It has sometimes where it bucks like a baby bull and I figured my clutch was slipping. The other day it did it and my abs flashed a few times then stayed on. I turned off my truck then back on and it went away. Could my electronics be tripping my abs system? It's an 03 Ford Ranger edge 5 speed with a 3.0l.
- ABS light unidentifiable? I have a 2000 ford ranger 4x4. I have an abs light on and have tried my code reader on it… My reader is supposed to read and codes and I had it set on the right program. Anyways, it said no codes stored on the module. So, I borrowed a friends and it said the same thing and so did the parts store. Any ideas on what's going on and why? I may ought to take it to the dealer.
