why does my Ford F-150 14th Generation (2021-2024) traction control light come on

Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, brake fluid.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Inspect Wheel Speed Sensors

• Locate the wheel speed sensors at each wheel hub.
• Remove the sensor connectors (if applicable) and inspect for damage.
• Clean the sensor and the mounting area to remove dirt or debris.
• Reconnect the sensors and ensure they are securely fastened.

3. Check Brake Fluid Level

• Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir.
• Inspect the fluid level; if low, top it off with manufacturer-recommended brake fluid.
• Replace the cap securely after checking.

4. Test ABS Module

• Reconnect the battery.
• Use the OBD-II scanner to check for ABS module functionality and clear any stored codes.
• If codes persist, further diagnostic testing of the ABS module may be necessary.

5. Check Traction Control Switch

• Locate the traction control switch on the dashboard.
• Ensure the switch is in the "ON" position; if it is stuck or malfunctioning, replace the switch.
