97 Ram 1500 5.9 4x4 abs / ebrake light on
Well w/ such good luck today getting the code 11 fixed, thought I'd throw this up there. I've had the ABS and ebrake light on now for about 4 years. things I've done:
- ABS sensor replaced 3 times on rear axle, nothing worked.
- changed ABS unit under center dash
- replace fuses in fuse box
Nothing fixed it. Only goes out when I reset ECU by pullin negative battery cable for a little while. Comes back on about 5-10 miles of driving it.
I've heard theres another sensor on the transmission up front that might fix this, but not sure how true or if it will work. Speedo and all seem to work fine if this is the speed sensor they were talking about.
anyhoo, any ideas?

yes, the brake light and abs lights are both on. Have been now for about 4 years. would have thought they'd burned out a long time ago, then I wouldn't have the problem. lmao.. really lost as to what to further look at. again, I've heard a sensor on the tranny fixed a number of this similiar issues, but not sure what sensor or if it was the speed sensor, however my speedometer and tac are perfectly fine.

did some more digging tonight. was able to ground pin 13 at the computer connector under the column and am getting code 6 which is "erratic speed sensor while rolling" . Now my question is, the sensor for the ABS that is mounted on the rear axle, is that the speed sensor or is it possible there is another up front that could cause this.
Also want to point out, I understand the rear sensor basically talks to an exciter ring in the pumpkin. When I first had the light come on, the sensor had exploded so to speak and turned my diff oil copper colored. I cleaned it out and noticed a piece of the sensor was wedged in the ring gear and was able to remove it. I need to change rear diff oil again soon and was wondering if this exciter ring can be replaced or exactly what it is, a pic would be good too.
thanks,
