Have to take it to a shop with a scan tool that can talk to the Ford ABS.. Vato Zone and Discount scanners will not read it.

There should be a sensor on each tire, or I know there are at least on both front tires. Unless you want to change all the sensors you will have to take it somewhere. I dont' know if it is just as cheap to change them all or not. If you only have two on the front left, it might be just as good to just change them.

I have been told to remove the sensors and wipe them clean, something about grime and stuff affecting the Hall effect sensor. Total of three, one on each front and the rear end, top center housing.

Again, this has to do with the OD OFF light together. computer is going haywire all because the tranny. now, it wont allways do the lights together, but they play a part in it.
