ABS , Stabili , and traction

[pdsq99f4]

If you don't know where the sensors are, you probably shouldn't be trying to fix an ABS problem. You really need to have it scanned to know where to start looking. I'm not trying to be a dick, but It's next to impossible to fix an ABS problem if you don't know what the code is.

Thanks, but it ain't ABS, its definitely the traction control but you are right, no point in messing about with stuff when the dealer will do it for me
.... anyway, we have progress

Off to the dealer tomorrow morning to pick up the Workshop Manager and a Tech II, then round the back of the dealer where it's nice and muddy as it rained all day - guarantee that will start the problem.... to be fair, they reckon they have an idea now what it is (thanks Neo, as I passed the info here and on another thread to them ) ... so it'll be up on the ramp and done and dusted by lunchtime - their estimate, not mine, so we'll see!!!

ABS and traction control are the same system.

Okay ... dropped into the dealer this morning, 30mins later got the truck back - loose sensor on the left front which had moved out of position - wonder how that happened ... anyway, cleaned up, relocated etc - JOb Done

I have heard that sometimes when the reduced power/ traction failed light comes on it can also be a malfunction in the accelerator pedal. There is a module on the pedal that apparently can loose communication.
