What causes ABS Code 17 (Reference Voltage/Intermittent Valve Fault)?

Possible sources include a 30 amp fuse open, intermittent connections to battery, main relay or ground, main relay coil or contacts open, opens or shorts to ground in Circuit 532 (O/Y), 599 (PK/LG), or 601 (LG/PK), a short to ground through the anti-lock hydraulic control unit, intermittent valve failures, and high resistance valves. Go to Pinpoint Test A.

What does ABS Code 22 indicate and what circuit is involved?

Code 22 is a Front Left Inlet Solenoid Valve concern. Possible sources include intermittent open Circuit 495 (T), terminal backout at control module connector Pins 17 and 40 or hydraulic control unit connector Pins 1, 4 and 6, an open or shorted inlet front left valve coil, or a shorted driver in the control module.

This is page 06-09B-16 from the 1996 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and F-Super Duty Body/Chassis service manual (dated July 1995), covering Diagnosis and Testing for the 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) system. The page presents a symptom/diagnostic trouble code chart listing conditions, possible sources, and actions for ABS codes 11 through 24. Code 11 indicates anti-lock brake electronic control module failure (replace module); Code 16 means the system is OK. Code 17 (Reference Voltage/Intermittent Valve Fault) may be caused by an open 30 amp fuse, intermittent battery/relay/ground connections, or opens/shorts in Circuits 532 (O/Y), 599 (PK/LG), or 601 (LG/PK), directing the technician to Pinpoint Test A. Codes 22, 23, and 24 cover front left inlet, front left outlet, and front right inlet solenoid valve concerns, involving Circuits 495 (T), 496 (O), and 497 (W), terminal backout at specific module and hydraulic control unit connector pins, or shorted valve coils, directing to Pinpoint Tests B, C, and D respectively. A note instructs technicians to perform only the indicated pinpoint test steps and return to the symptom chart if no resolution is reached.
