Annoying Message Center and warning lights: SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK and CHECK BRAKES

[JamaicaJoe]

I have been driving the highway past few days. No warning lights. The OBDII shows "Ready". I have noticed the left front tire runs about 15 degrees F higher than right It seems everything is hotter in that corner. But comparisons of the hub, rotor and caliper are about same right to left. I will get it to my mechanic and have him try to pick up all the diagnostics and get it up on the lift to check the exposed wiring hoses etc,

I have the same issue with 2019 expy AND 2024 F550. Bad wire harness to back wheels. I relocated the wire harness to prevent the harness from being damaged by the dump body. Champion Ford in Edinboro, PA voided my warranty because I "Bent" the wire harness.. They said they had never heard of the issue before.. There are several ford service memos on the issues. One of them say the harness rubs not far from the end by the rear wheel. Prevents the cuise control from working in the expy.. The F550. Not only cruise but also the 4wd.

That is just crazy. If it rubs it is not racing. I will have to slide under and look for that one. I was more concerned with rodents eating wires, though I have three cats on 24/7/365 rodent control in the driveway. Maybe they slouch off.

Well; the service brakes/advancetrack etc.. light show is back. I have been distracted with medical issues and have not checked the wiring as planned. I did read the schematics and have a good idea where all the connectors are located, so will open them up and De-Oxit all the connections. I did go to my local auto parts store and asked them for a free scan. The scan tool is apparently very limited according to the clerk and showed only a B1342 code for the ABS module. Nothing more. This could be a bad module or there could be a deeper code. Can anyone advise if a deeper scan with better tool is in order? Maybe I have a sensor issue? I don't want to throw the parts cannon at this. Ideas? Google has not been too helpful. Again a 2013 XLD RWD 5.4L 3V. 120K miles.

could be a wheel speed sensor too. In order to be smarter than the parts cannon, you need a decent OBDII scan tool, in order to see things and make a proper diag.
