If the check engine light comes on in your Ford Explorer, it's important to promptly pull over and stop to avoid potential damage to your engine. Once safely stopped, you can use an OBD II scan tool to retrieve the error code stored in your vehicle's computer. For example, if you see code B1676, it indicates a problem with the anti-lock braking system, typically triggered when the system detects insufficient voltage reaching the brakes. This issue is often attributed to a battery or alternator problem, or possibly a loose wire.
The b1676 code on a Ford Explorer indicates a problem with the ABS system, which stands for anti-lock brake system. This issue is probably due to low battery voltage, signaling a failing alternator or a deteriorating battery.
