shadyxr Donating Members 132 Member For: 21y 3m 15d Location: Sydney Posted 05/09/06 07:01 AM Share Posted 05/09/06 07:01 AM Hi All, Had Edit done over 12 months ago and last week or two have a problem with the TC & ABS light coming on for no reason. If I reverse out of my driveway and select drive the lights come on or sometimes if I just start the car and move slightly it does it too. I did have issues with it turning off at full throttle but got around that by turning TC off when going hard. Any ideas would be appreciated. Maybe I should re-load the custom tune. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think??I had the same problems and it was a faulty wheel speed sensor, used for both ABS and TC. It could be that it just needs a clean and the connections checked. Otherwise you will need it replaced. Ford can tell you which one it is by checking the errors logged in your PCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, take your car to Ford standard to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfield Member 17 Member For: 18y 9m 6d Location: Brisbane Posted 07/09/06 03:04 AM Share Posted 07/09/06 03:04 AM Sometimes I question the stability of the Edit/Custom tune. I have had my T tuned by one of Australias highest regarded tuners where things like TC turning off etc is supposed to be fixed. When the tune was first done it was along with a few other issues. Every couple of weeks I have to reflash with the custom tune which fixes these issues. Within a couple of weeks these issues reappear, reflash etc etc etc!I do wonder if it these ECU's actually relearns key functions of info, which periodically need to be re-written. If this is true what other "key functions" like timing, fuel etc are also being effected!This leads back to the age old arguement piggyback v's edit. Edit is by far superior for performance, but maybe piggyback is more stable. I'm not looking for an argument or debate, just thinking allowed!

With Piggyback the PCM software stays as is which does in fact mean that you are far less likely to get a bad tune or any of these apparent Edit features. However, in the right hands it is possible to take the tune state further with Edit than with a piggyback.....I repeat..in the right (patient) hands.Dingah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the standard tune back and same problem. Booked in to Ford. They have now advised both front wheel sensors are faulty. No warranty. Hmmm!!!
