Brake light, ABS light and traction control lights

Josh Hagg · May 23, 2021

I have this exact same issue. Can you tell me a bit more about the receipt. What part(s) did they replace, how much was it, and how much was the labor?

My mechanic I normally use can't program the module so I'm looking for other options but want to avoid the markup from the dealer.

Usually just a wheel speed sensor when you get the three codes; $58 from Motorcraft. You need a Ford enhanced code reader to determine which wheel has the problem.

Switching out ABS sensor solved my issues. Sorry to hear y’all are having bigger problems.

This appears to have reared it's ugly head today to me all a sudden. 3 lights on dash lit up, ABS, Brake and Skid-control as well as warning to check Brake system and Service Advance Trac.

Will take it by my local mechanic Monday and hopefully it's just a sensor gone bad. They installed sumo spacers recently in rear and I installed front and rear sway bars as well, wondering if they or I could have damaged a sensor?

Is Ford the only ones that can tell you which sensor it bad if that is it? Or it's possible that my local shop may have a system to read the Ford details?

If your local shop has real Snap-on or other professional equipment, their Ford-enhanced reader will tell what wheel sensor is giving the problem.

You may want to check the plugs on the front sensor wires.

My Bluetooth obd2 scanner with forscan on my iPhone told me which one.

I have an OBDLink Obd2 scanner as well, but unless I'm not reading it correctly it gives a vague somewhat answer...

I assume this is telling me right-side issue, but not front or back.

Yeah, mine was definitely more clear in forscan-lite. What year is your truck, again?

The proper scanner will show a speed reading from each wheel sensor, which pretty much solves your problem.

2010 Expy. Was hoping I could figure it out and avoid the shop fees and hopefully just swap in a new sensor. Really hoping it's not the ABS ECU. Seems to come and go, not sure if breaking triggers it or bouncing down the road, haven't figured that out yet.
