Code Scan - ABS - Traction Control Issues - Help Me Please

Recommended Posts

ABS and Traction control light came on brakes would lock up and were very grabby, lights went off by themselves, brakes acted fine but when checking codes I had two pending codes (forget what they were)... Took it to dealer they diagnosed it as a bad ABS Control Module and Hydraulic Control Assembly and quoted me around $2500 to repair it....Now the problem is they must have cleared the codes because I have had no pending codes in a month and the lights have never come back on.....The guy at the dealer said it will not show a pending code unless the actual ABS or Traction Control light illuminates....

 

Does this sound right? The pending code thing... Also usually wouldnt a dealer 'not' clear a code like that due to liability issues unless they repaired it?

My guess is it was a flaky sensor/wiring and not a problem with the control module but that's just a guess. If it was a real problem the light would have come back on immediately. I would take it to a different dealer if the problem reoccurs that way you'll have 2 opinions. But this is usually a sensor or tone ring.

^ X2. Wheel speed sensors and tone rings are usually the culprit parts on the Edge. I'd have those carefully inspected at a reputable independent shop.

 

I take it no brake work was done recently?

Yes, entire front suspension is new besides rack, brakes new all around...tires new, end links in rear new...
