I would start by unplugging the batteries for a few minutes and letting the system reset. Plug them back in and start her up. I had a similar issue and after driving a few blocks the light went off.

SOURCE: 2002 Ford Excursion battery light come on intermittently

Remove power to all aftermarket components, if you know how to use a multi-meter connect to power source inside vehicle.. Drive normal, if voltage drops below 12v while driving, it is faulty alternator. If bat light comes on and voltage is above 12v the plug on the alternator might be correded and throwing faulty light, or bad ground in gauge cluster...

Disconnect battery ground for 30 seconds & reconnect. Light should be out unless you have deeper diagnostic problem. Charging system good Battery good. This action should reset trouble light. Good luck!

SOURCE: 85 f250 diesel won't start when hot

Injection pump is worn out. The head and rotor inside the injection pump is bad, When the engine is hot the tolerences on the head become to much hence loosing pressure needed to fire injectors. entire pump needs replaced. Good luck, Not a good idea to pour cold water on the inction pump it wii seize up and be no good for core, could cost you extra money on price of pump

ABS light on, what do I need to do now??

You'll need to get the computer scanned for trouble codes and then proceed. It may take a professional scanner to access that component.

BATTERY PROBLEM

Ultimate solution is change the battery... because the capacity of battery cells is poor.. this could be the reason if battery is old...
Still u can take a chance by completely removing the battery fluid and replacing it new battery fluid... but keep in mind that, after doing so, u'll need to charge the battery fully before using it in car...
This kind of battery problem is common in all diesel cars, the reason I think is, Diesel engine need heavy torque to start that draws heavy current from battery.. so if you are facing starting trouble for the vehicle, then battery is surely going to discharge frequently...
Still try the solution mentioned above and still the problem persists, then replace the battery with new one.
((I am considering that the battery you are having is 3-4 years old...))

Abs light on 2002 ford explorer xlt

The ABS system means the Antilock Brake System. If the ABS lights on the dashboard permanently the ABS system is faulty. You must access the ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) memory to pull out all DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), using diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car. Then you will be full informed about bad pieces (e.g.: front right wheel abs sensor interrupted, ...). After bad pieces replacement you will be able to erase all faults memored by ABS ECU, in other words reset the ABS system and turn off the warning lamp on dashboard.

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. ABS Light

If the ABS light is on, then there is a present malfunction and a Diagnostic Trouble Code has been stored. You will need a scan tool to access the code and see what it is. There are a number of things that will turn the light on and with a lack of symptoms it would be difficult for me to hazard a guess as to what the problem may be.

I would check the wheel sensors at the wheels to make sure they are clean and undamaged and that the harness and connectors are clean and tight.

Try it and tell us news.

2002 ford E450 abs light stays on after replacing Front rotors & hub assy. I disconnected neg. battery treminal with no luck to reset. Can you help? troubled

On OBD2 vehicles,1996 & up, You need to disconnect battery for an hour or two to discharge memory in computer. Let it sit disconnected for 2 hours. If you cured the problem it will be out & stay out. If it is on there still is an abs problem. Make sure all abs sensors are connected properly & no broken or crimped wires in their harness.

I Have a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500.Both the ABS and Brake Lights are on

I have a 2005 Ford F350 4X4 Diesel, and the ABS light is on

have the dealer test it for the ABS trouble code that the light sets in memory. The most common problem is the individual wheel speed sensors, but they are expensive so a trouble code test is the best way to go, then u can do the actual replacement.

2002 Chevy venture indicator trouble

Try disconnecting your battery for about 30 sec to reset the ABS computer. You probly have a trouble code stored in the ABS computer and the lights are letting you know there was a problem. If the light stays on after you reset computer then you will have to pull code to troubleshoot problem.
