You are Awesome! This fixed my abs, brakes, traction control, cruise control and collision warning lights reset. Mine was working, went in a store, came back out and all my warning lights were on. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Mine is a 2013 Ford Edge!

I have a 2010 Ford fusion. I had a sensor taken out of my tire . Ever since my power steering service now and advance Trac popped up. Also saying tire pressure sensor fault. I replaced the power steering because it was so hard to drive. Got it back three days later. Drove home working. Bam by the time I got home it locked up again. This is 45 min later. I know my power steering doesn't need replacement. I just got it fixed. Something is throwing it off. My car even stalls when driving. Tires spin and want go. It jerks back. I cut off and back on then take off. Some times, well most of the time I have to keep doing it. Horrible! If this can reset on my fusion power steering and advance Trac then I will be saved from money. The replacement of the steering broke me. I have no more I can do with this car. Please let me know how your fusion is doing and If this is what you were going through. If this helps for real I will be so happy!

Your abs module will not entirely reset until u go above a certain speed after repairs .

@lucianbrighi Ай бұрын

@@CrocOncrac Hi. Very interesting what you are saying. I do not remember if i drove on the motorway speed after that but now seems to be ok. I also had an aftermarket engine kill relay with remote and after having a free battery check at Halfords they said its the alternator not charging correctly and have to change it. But I removed the engine kill relay and no more problems. I think that was drawing too much power in standby. Ford fiesta ofcource.

@CrocOncrac Ай бұрын

@lucianbrighi I'm aware it only has to be around 15mph or 25kms I'm also unsure if that would affect abs unless your drawing power from a constant power supply that's to do with the abs .. Abs wheel speed sensors , sense the friction in relation to the spin of each wheels sending the same or equal number of spins to the ecu (engines cumputer) Traction control on the other hand detects the slip of one wheel compared to the others there for allowing a certain amount of play between the rotation of the 2 wheels aligned . For eg , on dirt one wheel will spin faster then the other this will trigger your traction control if you don't have a button to turn it off . If I need to explain further , while entering a corner or long bend one wheel would have to rotate more then the inside wheel to allow correct dynamics.
