My abs light is on. I hooked up the scan tool and it gave me a 555 code with no description. I asked my teacher and i asked the guys i intern with at the local ford dealership. they have never seen a 3 digit code. i dont know why its doing it. the light wont come on tell a mile down the road. Then it acts like the abs is kicking in. and then the pedal sinks farther than usual and then it is like that for the rest of the time. I am running a smaller tire on the front than on the back.
 
Are you runnign after market wheels? I know on my cobra I had a problem where the bracket in the rear had got bent somehow and was letting the ABS sensor wire rub the inner lip of the rim. It ended up shorting out. But it never made it act as though the ABS was activating and if it was maybe I just did not notice.
 
When I changed to larger wheels on my '95GT the ABS light came on and I can't get a legit code out of it. I haven't noticed any effect on my brake system, but the light is on. Just some FYI, though I am working on correcting the issue
