My traction control has kicked in a few times lately, when taking a left turn. I hear the noise associated with TC working and the light on the dash flashes. I'm not turning too quickly, it has nothing to do with how I'm driving.


Has anyone else had this issue? Ideas?


Thanks!

 

Are you stock or lifted? It sounds like a recalibration of the VSC and/or ABS system may be required.

 

I have a 2.5 front/1.5 rear levelling kit and 33.6" 305 BFG's

 

2009-2010's seem to be more sensitive to lifts and bigger tires screwing up the RSC.

i've never had the RSC or TC kick in around corners in my 2010 unless i'm doing something REALLY stupid, but i'm all stock.

bad wheel sensors would play havoc, so that's something you might be able to check ... just a couple thoughts.

 

Hey nlfireblade,

Have you had a chance to speak with your Ford Dealer about this? Shoot me a PM with your name, VIN, current odometer reading, dealer, and best daytime phone number - I'll gladly look further into this and see how I can help.

I would suspect that you may have driven on some sort of a slick spot on the road. If the TC detects the slightest amount of slippage between a tire and the road surface this can happen.

 

I've had the same thing happen a few times. When I make a sharp left turn it sounds like TC or ABS is kicking in. Maybe my 2in leveling kit is affecting it?

 

It hasn't happened recently. Funny thing is that it was happening on the same two turns. They aren't slick at all. Close to home so I'm wondering if it has something to with the truck being just started. If it starts up again, I will call the dealer and bring it in.

 

My 2010 when it was leveled on 34's would kick on the traction control occasionally during turns. Once I lifted it on 35's it rarely did it, only if I was going a little too quick. My leveled 12 and 14 never had the issue.
