How to Reset the ABS Light on a Ford

An ABS (anti-lock braking system) light will illuminate on your Fords dashboard when there is a problem with the braking system that need to be addressed. Take the vehicle to your mechanic to have it looked at and fixed. To clear the code from the On-Board Diagnostics computer, you need to reset it manually. This will just take a few moments. Make sure you fix the problem before you reset the light in order to ensure the light remains off after the reset.

Instructions

1

Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the second position. This is the position just before the engine starts.

2

Open the hood of the Ford and loosen the nut on the negative battery cable clamp. You can do this with a 10mm wrench.

3

Slip the clamp off the negative side of the battery and wait about 5 minutes.

4

Put the clamp back in place and tighten the nut. Look on the dashboard to make sure the ABS light has turned off. This resets all lights in the car and the clock as well.
