And I can only add bad news. Based on the codes and from the 1996 Ford CD Manual for ABS without Traction Control, these are the common items for the codes that you got.
1) Open or short circuit (I presume main wire harness for ABS)
2) wire harness (I presume main wire harness for the ABS)
3) damaged anti-lock brake control (module?)
Edit. It says to go to Pinpoint Test E.
�² E1: CHECK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT
�² E2: CHECK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUITRY FOR SHORT TO GROUND
�² E3: MEASURE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR RESISTANCE
�² E4: CHECK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WIRING FOR SHORT
�² E5: CHECK WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRCUITRY FOR OPEN
�² E6: CHECK RESISTANCE AT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
�² E7: CHECK ANTI-LOCK BRAKE INDICATOR
In E8,
it says,
E8 CHECK ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROL MODULE
l Start engine and observe anti-lock brake warning indicator.
l Is indicator illuminated after 5-10 seconds?
Yes
REPLACE hydraulic control unit (HCU). REFER to �«Section 06-06�» for proper bleeding procedure.
No
The fault was corrected in the previous step. CLEAR all DTCs.
Edit. HCU removal and reinstallation from Autozone.
