I have a 2001 Ranger xlt ex cab 4x4, 4.0L 5speed.

I have my abs lite on and I am getting the codes:
C1095 - hydraulic pump motor circuit malfunction
C1230 - wheel speed sensor rear center

and my air bag lite is on with these codes:
B1877 - Drivers seat belt pretensioner
B1881 - Passenger seat belt pretensioner

I am pretty sure I need to change the sensor in the diff to clear up the C1230. But I have no idea of what to do for the other 3 codes. Any help would be appreciated

 

C1095 - hydraulic pump motor circuit malfunction
check the plug to the pump their bad to get crud in em.. its on drivers side fender its got 4 brake lines coming out of it and says 4 wheel rabs on it


C1230 - wheel speed sensor rear center
thats the one in the top of the rear end with the 10mm bolt holding it in

B1877 - Drivers seat belt pretensioner
B1881 - Passenger seat belt pretensioner
not sure on those cause i didnt know 01 rangers had the air bag sensors in the seats thought thay started that in 06

 

These codes are fairly common with 2001+ Rangers especially 2001~2003. Each code is for high resistance in 1 of the pretensioner circuits and the cause is almost always the connectors located under the driver side seat (4-wire) and passenger side seat (2-wire).

One fix is to clean those connectors and then apply a small amount of dilectric grease to the pins before reassembly. If the code(s) come back, the connector(s) may need to be replaced. As with all electrical repairs, the negative battery cable should be removed before beginning.

It is good practice to avoid storing things under the seats because that can aggravate the problem with the connectors.

 

Thanks, I will try these to see if it fixes my problems

 

update:
for the pretension codes. cleaning the connectors and appying dielectric grease did not work on my truck, I am considering just elliminating the connectors entirly and splicing the harnesses together.

 

I have determined that I need to replace my pretensioners. Does anyone know when the explorers started using pretensioners? or how to simulate good pretensioners? So I can turn my airbag lite off

 

the only way to solve that problem is to get new pretensioners....why would you want to simulate them...they are a very crucial safety item

 

I can't afford what ford wants for them

 

You can save some money by just ditching the ABS like i did. I took apart the dash and pulled the bulb out. Problem solved there. THen use that money to fix the pretensioners. Or Hit up a Junkyard.

 

I work at a junkyard, but the newest ranger at work is a 2000 without pretensioners. and I don't think that any of the explorers at work have them either as the newest one of them at work is about a 1999.

 

people on here say tasca is pretty good for prices. there or rock auto. worst case, you wait for something to come in at work that you can use.
