Hello all,
I have searched but not really found the common issue that ties what’s going on together.
03 EB Expedition 170,000 miles new to me. 5.4L non air suspension AWD. I bought it with the leaking intake manifold and found a double gasketed Dorman manifold , i spent the money and got an original Ford manifold. When I bought it some a.DTC existed. After the manifold replacement and reconnection of the battery the mirrors no longer work, the nav radio screen is half white half black.
The cruse control doesn’t work and the flashing traction control light is making insane and it was flashing when I bought it. Oh the thing drives great and is in good shape. I really hate to give up on it.i do have forscan , ALLDATA, and the manual downloaded .
The original codes it had when I bought it from an estate
P1000

P0231

C1282

C1998

B1318

B1352

U1123

U1075

U1041

U1059

B1255

U2013

U1262

C1710

After bringing the truck home I ended up with P100 P0231 C1281 C1998 B1318 B1352 U0123 U1075 U1041 U1059 B1255 U1262 C1710 B2477 B2885 B 2872.
Now manifold is done and road test and troubleshooting the ABS light checking wiring connectors and relays and fuses . And checking kick panel wiring this is what I am left with
B2885 B2872 U1262 C1281 C1998 U1073 U1051 P1000 C1710 B1869 .
At one point I was down to 4 codes P0132, U1282,C1998,C1281 and the tpms codes but I bought 4 new sensors. Though I still have the spare fault.

I truly appreciate anyone that can help me with this , I don’t want to give up on such a good truck

Maybe no one is interested in looking up the 20+ codes you’ve listed. Be more explicit. Use proper grammar. As written above, you kind of sound like a bot. Good luck.

Sorry, grammar is something I struggle with.
As far as the codes, I was trying to give a complete picture of what I am seeing on the off chance something in common may be triggering all of them.
Thank you

!) You probably have a bad battery if not already replaced with new. Even a new battery subjected to extended discharge can be bad.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1318 means "Battery Voltage Low." It triggers when one of your vehicle’s control modules (like the Body Control Module or PCM) detects the electrical system's supply voltage has dropped below a pre-defined threshold (usually around 9V to 11V) for several seconds

2) Google all of the current codes and paste the results in a word document.

3) Replace the battery if you have not already. A WalMart EverStart MAXX is an affordable and good battery. Buy the highest CCA in the size your truck accepts. Charge the battery to 100%.

4) Reset all of the OBDII codes.

5) Drive test and report back with the codes and the descriptions from Google as well as faults noted.

6) The ABS module and Advanced Trac are a system, an ABS failure shows on the Advance Trac

For that C1281 code, you have to check the ABS module's main connectors for any corrosion or dirt, and also check the yaw rate sensor's connector for any damage or moisture. If all wiring and connectors are clean, you will probably need to replace the sensor, then clear codes and test drive. If the C1998 code is still there, you'll need to recalibrate the ABS module, which can be done on forscan, just make sure to follow all given conditions strictly to avoid calibration failure. If the ABS issues persist, you'll have to check all ABS-related harnesses and connectors, and the absence of physical damage to a wire might not completely rule out issues with said wire. I'd measure voltage and resistance readings as a last resort, since such tasks will take lots of time and patience. Also, if there are other unrelated PCM codes, I'd check all the car's grounds and main power lines from the battery. If you want accurate repair manuals and OEM specs on everything, charm.li is a perfect location.

that is a fantastic resource ! thank you .
i have checked the voltages at the YAW sensor and it could be where the problem is
pin 1 2.89 volts Pin 2 14.26 volts Pin 3 2.89 volts. if what i read is correct or i understand to be correct CAN2+ and CAN2- should have the same voltage at rest , in my case i have 14.26 volts and 2.89 volts and 2.89 volts for sensor power

You're welcome! In this case the best option is to just replace the sensor and hope the fault disappears.

Spent hours at the pick n pull, put cked up 2 sensors, programed both.
4X4 works, not flashing traction control light. Codes won’t clear with either sensor maybe it requires alonger drive cycle?

Maybe, but also have to check the wiring, maybe there's an open or a short. Or the sensors you picked up have an issue.
