Well here I am, my light just came on and my wheel is now tighter when driving . We didn’t ask for this computer bullshit. What happened to a good old fashioned 4 tires and an engine.

Most people don’t want a Fred Flintstone car. We absolutely did ask for these computers. They rule and most of these items are easily fixed. Things break and need maintenance, even those old junkers.

If anyone is wondering I had the same issue.Turned out to be a circuit breaker A that's grounded on the side of the fuse box.

Thanks man. I have a similar problem with my 2017 but it’s not the shift bushing it’s more complicated than that. Your video is the first one that has steered me down the path of figuring it out. It happens to my car when it’s very humid like foggy and or raining. But otherwise it’s fine. Anyways I appreciate that advice and I will read thru the comments and maybe add a fix here if I figure it out.

I have a S550 Mustang that I take to autocross. I set it on Track mode and about 50% of the time I get service advanced track. Once I restart the car, the code clears. I have no idea what it is. I really like how the car drives with advanced Trac. Guess I’ll need to scan it while it in error

Thank you for the video and info. I've been struggling with this issue for the past year on my 2021 Ranger. First trip to dealer a year ago under warranty they scanned and found code C003A but didn't find a problem when an electrical diagnostic was run. For some reason they replaced a rear wheel speed sensor, cleared the codes and called it good...which it wasn't. Problem came right back....fortunately I didn't pay anything. The issue comes and goes but never stops from driving. Lately it's happening a lot, so took it took it to dealer for oil change and diagnostic, but this time bumper to bumper is gone. They want $175 just to try and figure out what's wrong...and for which I told them No!...and which thanks to you seems to be an OBC scan and some possible very easy fixes. Feeling a bit dumb because I have a scanner and should have thought of this, but really appreciate the the guidance here to get me thinking straight on this issue.

I have these issues with ford 2016 wildtrak ranger. intermittent loss of power steering. whenever I turn the wheel to the right or left, it pushes back to center real quick. I recently changed my upper arm bushings and shocks. Do i need an alignment and do i need to reprogram the steering sensor?

I USED to be able to unplug the battery and let it sit before re plugging it in and the car going back to “normal”. Now, however, the last time I did that it wouldn’t reset.

@fZionists78 3 ай бұрын

I hope they had substantial evidence your rack and pinion needed replacing. Half a dozen minor issues can cause this, and they went straight to one of the most expensive possibilities? They clearly reset the computer which bought them two weeks before the code came back, they likely didn’t fix anything necessary.
