ABS disconnect

[HolidayDog]

I had this same error code light up sequence:
Advance Trac not wworking
Hill Start Assist not working
ABS error
Collision Assist not working ( pretty sure I don’t have collision assist)

I drove off and everything functions as it always has. If I jump on the brakes on ice I feel vibrations in the brake pedal (feels like ABS doing what it does.)

All these error codes popped up right after I was using FORSCAN. They haven’t turned on again.

Who else had the similar errors? What did the dealer do or say?

I will check the error codes that pop up in FORSCAN. There was only one and it didn’t mention any of the above.

You do. Comes on all of them

Would you put your wife or child in a car with no ABS or traction control

Depends on how much I like them.

I understand your position. I’m just saying that ABS isn’t required to safely drive a vehicle. It’s an enhancement that modulates the braking to prevent skidding. Under normal circumstances, it is never used. As I stated earlier, I drove my 2006 Escape for many years without it working as Ford had an issue with these failing early. My wife and kids drove with me without fear. Now that being said, I drove for several decades before ABS was even available.

In your defense, the service advisor would always tell me I shouldn’t drive the vehicle without ABS working. Of course, they weren’t willing to fix it for free either.

Thank you for your post especially how your service advisor would tell you not to drive without ABS working. My next step is to visit the dealership and have a sit down with the service advisor and ask him to put his answer in writing. i’ll keep everyone posted.
