ABS and TC lights on.

[JExpedition07]

On my way into work this morning I thought I smelled my brakes burning up, didn't think much of it. I got again in to drive to Home Depot a few minuets ago and my ABS light is on and my message center is telling me there is an AdvanceTrac TC System Fault. Again I smell burning brakes.... any idea? I'm hoping just a sensor.

It's also acting very strange, I feel every vibration in the road and its loud in the rear.... sounds like a wheel bearing about to give but obviously not the issue.

Locked caliper?

Locked caliper?

Normally I'd think so but I'm not feeling much drag, also it's intermittent.

As of last the truck locked itself out of Traction control and turned it off itself, no more smell or resistance but still noisy.

wheel bearing

mine did the same thing

mine was right rear. Scan for codes it will point you to the correct wheel

jack up the truck one wheel at a time and rock it feel for looseness

The abs sensor senses that something is wrong when the sensor teeth on the hub moves away from the sensor, triggers the abs light, then the traction control light

I never did hear anything like a wheel bearing noise, but it was loose

Yea stopped at autozone while I was out and about code says wheel bearing

 

[Big Brian]

you actually had a code for a wheel bearing? Did not know there was one

Surprises me too.

It was the "frequently reported fix" for the code which was to replace the wheel bearing.

Skip to 4:10 these same lights I had too, he uses a blue driver that actually tells him it's the wheel bearing. Same situation.
