ABS Brake Fault, Hill Start Assist,Hill Descent Control Fault Warning, Pre-Collision Assist Not Available

[All4spl]

So I am sitting in my truck on lunch watching a TV show, after like 35mins of my lunch I get out of the blue these 4 alerts. Already called the dealer and they can't get me in till April 11th. They told me as long as the truck doesn't behave abnormally or feel unsafe that I can continue to drive it.

I am baffled other than something randomly just faulted, nothing I have done even touches these systems on my truck. I have added wheels and tires using the factory TMPS sensors and those are functioning fine. I have added audio, again nothing connected to the ABS or those other systems.

My biggest fear is the dealer is going to see the audio in progress and flip out and blame that for this issue. So I am tempted to put the back seat back in which isn't a hard thing to do, just kinda annoying so they don't just immediately see the rear seat gone and go, ok this is why.

Will a standard ODBII reader read the codes from this truck?

Dealer and Ford would have to prove that your audio install is causing issues with those systems to deny your warranty claim.

I use a BlueDriver for all my code reading. Its a bluetooth adapter with app. Works awesome. I think the adapter is like $99. It will read codes. Reset lights. Freeze Frame. Sensor monitoring. List common fixes etc.

There have been a few similar cases but looks like none of them have reported back if it was successfully repaired.

Although some of those could have been related to this service message but that shouldn't apply as yours is a '23.

There was also another instance where some rodents had nibbled on the rear wire harness:

So went to drive home, I noticed I had no power steering, so I was moving the steering wheel back and forth to see how it was gonna be on the drive home. And no more than 10 seconds later, everything was fine again. All lights gone, all systems that where not usable are fine. I am going to keep the appointment with the dealer just in case this comes back before April 11th.

Not sure but the ford pass app still shows the 4 alerts even though they are not active in the truck.

while watching your soaps was the engine running?

Yes.

Sounds more like what @dubya774 experienced as they also had the power steering stop working.

Hi all,

I had this same problem on my '23 hybrid. After 3 visits to the dealer and waiting for parts to arrive, I got it fixed. I want to report back here so that other users can get a better idea of the cause. My dealer didn't do a good job communicating with me exactly what the cause was because they went through multiple iterations trying to solve it, but here is what I know.

They first diagnosed it as a bad wheel speed sensor, which may have been the case, but they ultimately had to replace a wiring harness and repair a couple wires that they said were rubbing on something near my front left wheel. I'm assuming that the wires that were affected were the ones responsible for transmitting the wheel speed signal. I also had an engine air leak error in Ford Pass, that was resolved with the wiring fix.
