Recently picked up my 2019 Ranger XLT FX4 about 4 weeks ago. 2 weeks into ownership I got multiple fault codes when backing out of a parking spot at the grocery store. The codes were as follows (pulled from Ford Pass):
Fast forward another week, and I got the same set of codes 3 times in one day, all while driving the vehicle. From reading around on the forum, it sounds like this is an ABS module issue, or an ABS/Speed Sensor issue.
I brought the truck into Ford and they were looking at it and the feedback was "we couldn't replicate the code during road tests, but the tech was able to pull a code from the PCM. We checked the TSBs for the code and couldn't find anything. We will clear the PCM and release the vehicle back to you".
At this point, I told the service advisor that I was not happy with that response. I asked for more information about the code they pulled and he said he would follow up with the technician who did the investigation/work on my truck. Is it common for step 1 of troubleshooting to just clear the code and release it back to the owner? Then if it happens again they will start swapping sensors? I'm a little upset because it took me about a week to get my service appointment, and I am almost certain unless they replace or re-position something, the codes will come up again within one week.
Appreciate any insight/comments/responses. I will keep everyone posted on the outcome - supposedly I will get my truck back today.
