Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could help.

Whilst driving along, my ABS and stability control light comes on, then my speedo dies. the car enters some form of limpo mode where the engine is becomes under powered and the steering wheel becomes heavy.

I have tried to plug in my OBD fault code reader and it doesn't pick it up, could anybody please help me narrow down what it can be?

I keep reading sensors failing, but it seems to me to be wiring if anything, has anyone else faced this issue?

 

Cheers in advance!

Smithy.

    Need a Ford specific reader such as Forscan.  Most likely is just an ABS sensor.
