Ford Ranger With Multiple Faults, ABS ESC & Hill Descent Control Malfunction - Problem Solved

In this video I show how I fixed a Ford Ranger 2015 3.2 model with the amber warning light faults on the dash, ABS fault, Electronic Stability Control ESC service req'd. This coincided with the Hill Decent Control Malfunction. I show what item was repaired to fix this problem and I also talk how you can do simple tests to help rule out/source faults on your vehicle and give general info tips regarding ABS wheel speed sensors.
I show the step by step instructions so you can follow along and DIY diagnose and repair this fault.

Thankfully I've found your channel, got a 2.2 and 3.2 Ranger, both have ABS fault, Electronic Stability Control ESC service lights on, tried a new ABS sensor on the left N/S, no change on the wheel rotation, now I know how to find a wiring fault and more importantly the areas to find the broken wire. Many thanks, great video and a big help !!!

[@repairs524]

Good to see a mechanic that will repair a problem auto mechanics back here in Ireland would just tell you you need a new wiring loom

[@wahroongafarm3966]

An excellent and very thorough video. Thanks. My 2016 BT50 had a wire break on the LHR sensor (Brown/ Green wire) at the exact same point at the axle clamp. Your video gave me the confidence that this was the stress point. The cable sheath plastic is not flexible, so no wonder the wheel speed sensor wires break here when flexed by axle movement. My local auto electrician was less than helpful and didn't even know where the ABS module was.

Great work as always Gerard, not rushed and very thorough, fair play👌👍👍💯🙏🙂

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thank you Pat, its always appreciated buddy 🙏🙏👍👍🙌🙌

[@RobertE92]

Always a pleasure to watch your simple and effective method to find faults, your video could genuinely be used to show apprentice mechanics the correct method to fault find wiring.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thank you Robert 🙏🙏 Funny you say that as I know for a fact that my videos are used in college to train apprentices. One of my new staff had mentioned that his lecturer was using my videos to teach the class. Very proud 💪💪🙏🙏

[@RobertE92]

@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage I’m not surprised. It’s shocking the amount of mechanics that won’t investigate wiring issues correctly as they just don’t know or care, I have worked with many of them and seen it first hand. With your videos being shown in colleges the next generation of mechanics have a great start got. Love the videos, thanks Gerard 👌🏻

I have the same model and pretty much the same problem, mines a manual. Except my also says engine coolant overtemp? The car won't start when this comes up. Any suggestions? Usually happens on a cold start also..

[@michaelp761]

I noticed on a video also done in Australia and the break is always on the curve where it joins to the rear axle from above.

[@jaybee2409]

Hey Gerald where are you located. I have a Ford Ranger 2021 with couple of those problems.

[@victorleonardo8432]

I have a 2015 ford ranger where now and then the gearbox gets stuck in a gear and that light comes on. Do u think a sensor can cause a gearbox to get stuck in a specific gear. once i switch off the vehicle and on again the problem is gone for days if not weeks.

[@HappyDaClown187]

Can I disable the abs entirely on my 22 ford ranger?

[@prime859]

Hi Gerard, where did you obtain your wiring diagram for the repair ? Great video , thank you from Ireland

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Wiring diagrams can be obtained from any of the common main sources, all data, auto data, haynes pro and I am sure there are others as well. Thanks for watching Aiden 🙏🙏

[@marklobbett455]

Hi Gerard,nice video How old was this ranger?

[@rgthomson1]

How can that wire get broken inside that protective plastic all around it, weird

[@DanielleChapman-bt4eb]

Hi Gerard, I have a 2018 ranger which is showing the same faults but also a few more. U0415:00-68 U0418:86-AF C003A:14-8A U0415:00-48 I think they were all the same faults on your video, replaced the OSR ABS sensor but still nothing cleared. Can you help? Thanks Danielle

[@JackHeslewood]

Which tool is it that you’re using to wireless detect sensor voltage in real time? Is it an obd scanner?

[@alankluttz4400]

I saw nothing about the Hill Descent fault, unless fixing the broken sensor wire also fixed that fault....? I have a 2016 Ranger that also has this fault plus a Steering Assist Fault. This happened immediately after washing the vehicle. It seems as if something got wet and needs to be dried out or perhaps ti needs a party replaced, but IDK where to start. Can you help with this Steering Assist Fault?

[@bandsman4923]

Same with mine, how did you fix it?

[@JUSTFUN-lv8fr]

I have a 2007 ranger fx4 with abs.Tom,Brake and air bag warning lights on! And fuse number 20 still blowing up and transmission works like limp mode 😩😰

[@neilmurphy845]

My 2019 ka shows that message on the radio sometimes but only intermittently and if you turn everything off and turn the key back on again the message doesn't come back on it's very strange

[@the_retired_mechanic]

Did you know lots of main dealers won't allow the repair of wiring on anything to do with the braking system

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

I didn't know that, but it doesn't shock me that they would choose not to, clearly way more money to be made in replacement rather than repair

[@plug007]

It's the same with airbag.
