2012 Ford Fusion 62K miles. Was driving in a light rain the other day and a warning came on screen.. Service Advancetrac. Also popped up an icon of a car skidding, and the ABS light. Warning light goes on and off and chimes.. the only issue with drivability is that the ABS wants to work when stopping at stop signs or stop lights..or any mid level pressure of the brakes.
I have been on forum reads and youtube.. i have tried to reset the 'soft code' by unhooking the battery with the key on (ford thing).. so obviously its a hard code. I hooked up my OBD and no codes present. I am guessing that i need an OBD reader that reads ABS codes? I called O'Reillys and they said theirs does. Unknown if that is true yet.
I also read where it could be speed sensors.. and some guy on youtube said to clean them because rust gets behind them. I did no help.
While pulling one of the wheels i noticed that one of my strut springs were broken.. nice. It looks as if it could either be new or years old..ive never noticed it but wasnt looking either. I read where this is a somewhat common thing as well.
The goal here is to not go to the dealer.. and how does someone service the advancetrac? Will the OBD reader that scans ABS tell me what is causing this?
