Advancetrac is going to KILL me!

Dropped it off today at a different/larger dealership (our local is still out of business anyways). The service writer looked pretty stumped. He called a tech over while I was there and he seemed a little more hopeful they could find something. He mentioned that a bad wheel speed sensors could be throwing off the system. One time my RSC warning lamp (car w/ squiggly tire tracks) stayed on until the next time I turned the car OFF-ON. Hopfully there is a code in there. If you read the manual, it says that the system has a type of black-box that monitors driving and any collision avoidance activity. The dealer didn't even know if they could access this info, or if it was a FORD only thing. I'm not holding my breath for a quick fix. Told them to keep it as long as necessary. They can drive it for a month for all I care.

UPDATE:
After contacting an online-advisor about my problem, the dealer replaced the Steering WHeel Angle (SWA) sensor. They were also advised to fill any gaps which may expose sunlight to the sensor with foam. I think it may be located through the front windshield cowling or vent area at the forward area of the dash. Hope is fixes the problem.
