2012 Expedition the ABS, Trac control , parking brake light are on. code B 1342 Power right sliding door release actuator? I dont have a power sliding door. wheel sensors, fluid level and fuses are OK. Is it the module and my Creade launch is giving wrong code. I have seen where places on Ebay can fix F150 modules, would that apply to Expeditions also?

That code is for the antilock brake control module.

Check the wiring going to the module, the connector and the receptor for the connector.

any success? Did you get it fixed yourself or did you ave to take it to the dealer/mechanic?
I have the same issue. All 3 lights (brakes, ABS and trac control) come on every time after I start the engine (not even moving).

You stated that the wheel sensors were okay. As @99WhiteC5Coupe noted that code is related to ABS and every time I've encountered that combination it was due to a faulty wheel speed sensor. A capable bi-directional diagnostic tool, like FORScan, should be able to confirm. The simultaneous graphing capability is perfect for this.

It could also be the wheel bearings/hubs, as I have seen this same issue on some other vehicles in the past few years...

When they are getting worn or are already bad, it causes a fault signal to be sent to the control modules and multiple warning lights to come on/go haywire, but if that is the issue, replacing those parts should fix the problem in most cases...

One quick way to check is to jack it up, then grab the tires from 2 sides, and see if there is any play/looseness/wiggle room in there, and if you can physically move the tire back & forth more than a few mm, then that's a good indicator...but the only way to know for sure it to take it all apart and see what's happening inside the hub & bearings...

Note that alot folks do this repair themselves, and although it isn't that difficult, it is easy to FUBAR unless you have the proper tools and know-how :)
