14 Ford Kuga / Escape Abs light fix.

[@danetaamu1355]

Awesome video Thankyou for making this repair these videos help so many people

[@garywilkinson6755]

My Ford Kuga 2015 had the same warnings as shown. Turned out to be the rear near side speed sensor. Quick fix (there are two type for my model and are colour coded....choose the correct one !)

[@johncashmore6488]

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.

[@ovyone5474]

Its because the ABS unit is looking for all wheels to be spinning at a similar rate. if one wheel spins then the count from the sensor on that wheel will be different than the others, hence an alarm state! Theres just too many sensors on vehicles these days. Brake warning sensor for low brake fluid "YES" but different rates between wheels? Overkill. There is also way too many audible alarms on vehicles, like you open the door and the car beeps at you to tell you the door is open! What should be available on all vehivles is the ability to turn the audible alarms down, actually it should be mandated!.

Update on my 2016 Ford Focus SE 2.0 L. Both hill assist not available light and traction control light turn on them off. It was bad tire balance which ruined tire. It had bald spot and I drive it to work which ripped out a chunk of thread. Replaced it and rebalance it. No more lights and very smooth ride. Also before this checked and rebalance one tire. Should've checked the other one too. And not very noticeable vibration coming from steering wheel. Only a lil . Wasn't even sure.

[@snapsuml8796]

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

[@bigwavesun]

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

[@paulefc1971]

Got a ford ranger with similar fault, near side front ABS sensor needed replacing

[@utube5361]

Show us how u get and install the forscan

[@utube5361]

Can u give the exact link where u bought the OBDlinkmx & the software that u used for doing that.

[@satimathura6762]

Is it safe to drive the vehicle when this happens? Can this damage anything in the vehicle if i continue to drive it?

[@snapsuml8796]

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.

[@frankmontez6853]

I don't know what Kuga is. Mine is 2016 Focus SE 2.0L. Hill start assist not available light and traction control light also on. Someone said it's wheel sensor. One said wheel alignment is off. My feedback vibration on steering wheel at high speed seems a bit more than before . Have you heard wheel alignment might be cause also ?

[@snapsuml8796]

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.

[@frankmontez6853]

@@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.

[@Trini-qr2nn]

When this happens, does the start & stop stop working too?

[@snapsuml8796]

Start and Stop was not affected

[@rodolfocanas164]

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

[@Trini-qr2nn]

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

[@rodolfocanas164]

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

[@jasonbryant2912]

I had the same dash lights pop up, along with much tighter steering. Would all this be due to the speed sensor?

[@snapsuml8796]

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

[@jasonbryant2912]

@@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"

[@snapsuml8796]

@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.

[@jasonbryant2912]

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

[@davidosejos194]

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?

[@titustaylor5795]

I have a question did you replace the whole chord or did you just retape it

[@snapsuml8796]

i did not replace the electrical line connecting to the sensor

[@Jettransfer]

Same happens with tighter steering and turn into limp mode And no hill start assistant displays. Please help me. I have replaced the abs sensors of all four wheels seperately when this occured earlier. Last time when this happened i replaced the abs module too. Then now again.please help me. Even the dealership also not doing a proper repair🙁

[@snapsuml8796]

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

[@locnload1]

Disconnected abs sensors right &l eft during repair I need to clear the abs codes now without scanner

[@locnload1]

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

i've got the falty code p1934 in my ford kuga 2015 related to speed sensor, is it possible my problem be the front wheel sensors because all the scanner i've used just show this code. PS: when the lights come on my car gets in limp mode and the go away.

[@jakeoi-f1c]

What tool did you use with the units "Nm" and why is it needed?

[@snapsuml8796]

it's torque wrench to help you tighten screw properly

[@JmsLatinoHeat]

I have the same issue. The abs light come on and the off traction light it also give me the same “no hillside assistance “ reading. But it only stays on for a minute. It goes away and at random times it turns on again. I have a code reader but it does give me any codes. Could it just be a bad sensor?

[@snapsuml8796]

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

[@rikudousennin3509]

Did you fix it?

[@AinulAdamFamilyTV]

What is the estimated price to fix this problem?

[@AinulAdamFamilyTV]

my ford car is having this problem

[@AinulAdamFamilyTV]

ford kuga

[@snapsuml8796]

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.

Plz can you mention the model/serial number of the abs sensor

[@snapsuml8796]

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

[@davidosejos194]

My ford escape has the same alerts, and the descent brake is deactivated, which you recommend me to do, it will be that the module is not damaged or only the abs and speed sensors, I greet you from Ecuador, help me

[@snapsuml8796]

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.

[@victorpuga9525]

What does the yellow i mean, I have a Ford focus and it's always on

[@billaz1337]

It’s an information message indicator

[@cylabridges8548]

I'm having the same issue with my Escape and the code reads U3000-48 with a definition of software failure. I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

[@snapsuml8796]

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

[@juantimer]

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