YOU CAN TAKE YOUR BATTERY CABLES OF AND THEN PUT THEM BACK ON, THE COMPUTER WILL RESET IT SELF, BUT IF YOU HAVE NOT FIXED THE TRACTION PROBLEM THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON..
The Traction Control Light comes on every time you turn on the ignition. It should go off as soon as you start the engine. If it does not, then you have the traction control turned off. Turn it back on and the light will go off. If you have the Traction Control turned on and the light stays lit, then there is a problem with the traction control.
THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR IS INTERGRATED INTO THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. EBCM (ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE). THIS IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER FRONT INNER FENDER WELL. THIS UNIT HAS STEEL LINES AND ELECTRICAL WIRE COMING OUT OF IT....WHEN THIS MESSES UP ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL DOES NOT WORK.. DEALER PRICE ON EBCM IS $850.00 PLUS LABOR!
Check that you have the traction control button turned on.
There is a problem in the Broughams traction control circuit. Run a test of the computer for possible bad codes.
it should
The computer resets itself. as for the ABS-Traction control-Tire Pressure... the ABS sensors on the wheels get information for your ABS, traction control and your tire pressure monitoring system, if the ABS has a problem, it disables itself along with the traction control and the tire monitor. You have a problem with your ABS system..get it checked out
Bring to a shop that has an ABS scanner to determine the problem
From what you are describing, It might very well be a wheel bearing housing unit going bad. The ABS and traction control are part of that unit. When the bearings start to go bad it puts weight on the ABS unit and tears the wires, which makes then tend to short. Besides the ABS and Traction off light coming on, there should be also a slight hum coming from one of the wheels.
This is the Traction Control System indicator. It illuminates when it is in use. It can also be turned off in which case it would illumiate with TCS or DSC OFF indicated.
maybe you are burning it in you cylanders?
LET THE ENGINE RUN.I spent 3 days trying to bleed it myself. I finally found that with my Traction Control there is a pump. So you can not bleed if the pump is not working. The solution: Let the engine run during the whole procedure. You then get an incredible pression in the pipes. Oil is coming out for 1 foot long.This is probably valid for most Ford Windstar, Aerostar, Freestar and many other Traction control cars from Ford.
The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) light is on by default. Check to make sure you did not accidentally hit the button yourself, but the esp on means that your traction control system is functioning properly, you can turn it off and run without it but there is no advantage except that it will be easier to get into a slide or if you want to do some tricky maneuvers. If the light is a warning type and not just a notification it will mean that you have a fault in one of the systems involved in the traction control system like brakes, brake lights, speed sensors, etc. Refer to your manual, but in most cases the traction light SHOULD be on all the time.
