14 Ford Kuga / Escape Abs light fix.  

Hi I have a 2015 Kuga with this problem,replaced the abs sensor that cured the problem but not the lights on the dash so I was wondering which colour did you use on yours.

If changed a single tire and the other side is still old one and of different brand, obviously it is uneven weight across the left tire and right tire, and this may be the reason w still a tiny little vibration from steering. Thanks for sharing

Wow, there are so many things that trip that message.

In my case my car could still be operated and might encountered tight steering right after start up. Please refer to Owners manual for the instrument cluster. Usually if the message indicator is Red, you should pay more attention as that may indicate a critical failure.

Hi Frank Montez, if vibration at high speed but steering is straight, it may be caused by uneven weight across the circilar motion of your tire and wheel （front or rear wheels）usually you have to do balancing it after tire change. For the instrument light it is can be checked easily with the OBD tools （with ford support）. If your steering is not straight, there may be other issue （eg control arm ball joint aging, tie rod ball joint aging）if your vehicle is in high mileage and it better to check those parts before wheel alignment （or even after alignment it may get worse result） one other possible reason is uneven tire wear. Usually i will have tire rotation for every oil change. Maybe your car have both abs wheel speed sensor and the possible causes i mentioned above.

@@snapsuml8796 yeah it was bad balance . Ruined my tire. Replaced and balanced and now hill assist and traction control lights are turned off for at least a week. Much smoother ride.

With the lights on i experienced tight steering a few times （but not always） after just starrted the engine and drove at the beginning. According to this it maybe. However you should check the code to identify the exact reason and if it is to see which wheel

@@snapsuml8796 I have a different reader. It didn't give me the wheel speed sensor faul like yours did. Mine reads: "Invalid data received from anti-lock brake (ABS) system control module"

@Jason Bryant i think your reader trouble code was U0415. I ve double checked my report and it had this code also and it come from ECU Power Steering Control Module, while my vdo code C0034 comes from ECU ABS system. Seems U0415 is a more generic code.

@@snapsuml8796 You are right. The reader gave code UO415, but didn't give any more specific details

I have the same problem, the steering becomes hard and not always, and the brake is deactivated when descending a slope, some tell me that it is an abs module, what solution have they given you so far?

Start and Stop was not affected

Hi Trini. I see.......I have the same problem of Snapsun plus the start & stop affected, just like you said. When I try to stop the engine I have to push the button several times. Did you fix your issues ?? Any recommendation ? Thank's Regards

@@rodolfocanas164 , Yes, the problem was in the rear wheel ABS sensor, I changed it and it was ok.

@@Trini-qr2nn Wooow I'm going to check all sesors. It looks like a common trouble. This has been a headache

@@Trini-qr2nn Thanks a lot !!! I appreciate it

Have you tried to check any code with an OBD scanner?

Hi David Osejos from Ecuador, if you have a OBD reader that can read Ford code it will be more easily to find out the DTC so you know exact code and wheel. If you don’t have the reader, I have seen somebody changed all four wheel speed sensors. Please be reminded the front and rear sensor are different and they have different part no.

my ford car is having this problem

ford kuga

you need a diagnostic tool to find out if you have this problem. If it is the abs sensor problem, it's about us 30 for the sensor itself. Other cost are tools and labour.

@@AinulAdamFamilyTV I bought a speed sensor off Rock Auto for mine 20.00 3 year warranty.

@@peggynorton5145 how was it diagnosed ? Just like here with obd scanner ? 2016 Ford Focus SE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. 2.0L and it's intermittent hill start assist not available light and traction control light too.

i think it should be the bad sensor. Maybe your code reader cannot read the ford codes that can tell u the exact wheel

Did you fix it?

How Do I clear the. ABS Codes and turn off the light

@@locnload1 I not quite sure what u mean 'Disconnected abs sensors right & left during repair'

i did not replace the electrical line connecting to the sensor

Front sensor i used for my Kuga BV6T-2C204-FB, in US for 14 Escape 1.6 front it should be HV6Z-2C204-A. For rear pls double check with the dealer as AWD and Auto park should have difference. Hope this can helps

It’s an information message indicator

it's torque wrench to help you tighten screw properly

U3000:48 -> Control Module: Supervision Software Failure. Action: Clear DTC. Cycle the ignition. Carry out ABS module self-test. => If the DTC returns, install a new ABS module / HCU (hydraulic control unit) assembly. If the DTC does not return, the condition to set the DTC is not present at this time. This cause may be intermittent

@cyla bridges did you ever get that fixed? what was it?
