ABS, Hill assist, towing light, parking sensors error

[Thazy]

Hello all, 2019 ranger lariat gives me all the above errors at once. However these errors are not consistent. Sometimes they come on when I start sometimes after a few miles, sometimes not at all. I think it may be a lose connection. Any help would be great. I am about to take it to the dealership which I feel is going to gouge me.

I haven’t had that happen. But I would do what you were thinking - check for loose connections first -still under warranty?
Good luck- hope it is something simple.

When my abs sensor went out I got those except the tow light

X2 on loose connections. Especially if you have ever had anything apart, like to install a putco grille or something..

Of course. I say I haven’t experienced this and what happens today on road trip into the BC interior. Advance track not working (telling me to service), ABS light and no hill assist. Collision system not available. I don’t have ACC or front bumper sensors so there is nothing loose there.
At least these things aren’t “critical” didn’t have when I first started driving and my 02 F150 didn’t have this advance stability control. So until I finish this road trip and can get it to the shop going to have to drive old fashioned way - no reliance on tech. Thank goodness it’s still under warranty (42k km only). It will probably be a few weeks so when I get answers will update.

I think on my drive today the roads were a little wonky and wet and maybe advance track couldn’t figure when it should or shouldn’t come on and just called it quits altogether.

The strange thing is the steering is more stiff with the advance track not working.

Wheel speed sensor. It's only like $40

Yea literally everything you mentioned is what happened to me each time a wheel sensor went out. First time was my right rear and the second was my left rear. First time I put an OEM sensor and the second time I went with the brand called "standard" from rockauto.

It's a 10 minute job the hardest part is getting those stupid plastic clips to come out and you just pop the new ones in and bolt in the sensor.

Good to know. I will still bring it for warranty work just because - since I paid for my own e brake boot I would Ford to repay me in kind?

I am making an assumption that I can wait to repair it till I am done my road trip. just have to drive old school.

It makes sense about the speed sensor - when I was leaving the gas station and I dropped on the edge of curb a bit the advance track light went off (and then came on about 10 miles later. I am going to check for loose connections first thing tomorrow anyways. Feel like I should be buying stock on the sensors. Haven’t had that happen with my other vehicles with ABS (all Ford’s strangely enough!)

Thanks again.

To the OP - I hope your problem is a simple too

Thanks again Superdannyboy - your are great help

Quick update—got it into the dealer today - it was a wire in the speed sensor that corroded. Replaced under warranty and all is working well.
SuperDannyBoy was spot on with his diagnosis

To the OP. is your issue resolved yet and if so what did it turn out to be - just out of curiosity
