Parquette Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hello, sorry if this question has been asked before and solved. I was driving my car a few weeks ago and I briefly had the "Service ABS", "Service Advancetrac," and "Hill Start Assist Not Available" messages appear and the ABS, Traction Control, and Traction Control OFF lights illuminate. About a mile later, the lights went off. I sort of forgot about it, figured I'd gotten some water somewhere and it worked itself out. Fast forward to yesterday, and I turn the car on in my driveway and all the messages appear and the lights illuminate on startup. I've driven about 150 miles in several trips since then, and the lights persist. I'm thinking that the culprit is probably my wheel speed sensors, does anybody have any other or better ideas? I'm hesitant to take it to my nearest dealership, since I've not had the greatest experiences with their service department in the past. I usually go to the next town over, but that's about 20 miles away, and obviously not very convenient. Any help would be appreciated! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Wheel speed sensor or tone ring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parquette Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Tone ring doesn't seem like something I want to try and replace myself, but at least it'll let me know what to tell the dealership. This isn't the kind of thing usually covered under warranty, right? The car is less than a year old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Absolutely under warranty. Didn't notice it was a 2015 - take it to the dealer and let them worry about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yea, that's exactly the kind of thing that a warranty is for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parquette Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for the input. I'll get it there at the end of the week. I'm out of town for the next few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igonutz Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi everyone. This same issue just popped up on my 2016 Fusion S, which is out of warranty. Any suggestions for a fix here. I pulled the battery cable for 10 minutes and looked at the ABS fuse in the engine compartment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parquette Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Wheel speed sensor was the culprit. But it could also be the tone ring in your case. Either way, it's the car saying it doesn't have the info it needs to run the ABS and traction control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igonutz Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Is this an expensive fix and something a novice can do? Probably not covered under the powertrain warranty I would suspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parquette Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 No clue. I was covered under warranty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
