2016 ford [transit](/topics-transit/) connect abs, hill start assist, and traction control lights on Mechanic's Assistant: Is it just the ABS light?

Good Afternoon, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* ill be helping you, so sorry to hear about the issues here on the Transit. I know how frustrating it can be to deal with all of these warning lights coming on at the same time. Catastrophic ABS failure is not common on these but sensor failure in the ABS circuit is common, usually wheel or vehicle speed sensors. Depending on what code you get will dictate if you will be replacing just a sensor or chasing a wiring fault. ABS module failure is possible but not very likely on these models.

I replaced the speed sensor on the [transmission](/topics-transmission-ford/) the speedometer worked for a moment and continues to read zero. The [power steering](/topics-power-steering/) is also non functional when the lights are on while driving.

ah okay, if you have a code for that speed sensor and its already been replaced your next step would be to verify that the wiring between that sensor and the module is fine and if it is then we can suspect a module issue.

8 faults in the abs systemC0031:11-2B CMDTCs Left front wheel speed sensorC0031:15-28 Left front Wheel speed sensorAnd it continues to the More code for the Right front wheel speed sensor

okay good, so like i mentioned your next step would be to rule out the wiring between the sensors and the module and if it checks out then you will likely be replacing a module here unfortunately

Ok .... I don't think both sensors fail at the same time so wiring or the module as you stated....thanks Daniel....

yes that is correct, im happy to help!
