In the 2006 Ford Explorer, the ABS and Traction Control systems are controlled by the same computer module. If there is a problem with one system, it could affect the other, leading to both warning lights being triggered. To address this issue, it is recommended to perform a thorough diagnostic check on both systems along with the car's firmware. If everything is updated, then there may be a fundamental problem with either the brake system or the traction control system. In such a scenario, it is advisable to seek assistance from a qualified professional. Take your vehicle to a dealership or an auto repair shop to accurately identify the root cause of the problem.
The 2006 Ford Explorer having its ABS and traction control lights on indicates a problem with a sensor in one of the wheels.
Typically, the ABS and traction control warning lights will illuminate due to a faulty wheel speed sensor.
In my 2006 Ford Explorer, the traction control turns on by itself and won't deactivate even when I press the button to turn it off. The only way to reset it is by turning off the car completely and then turning it back on. This issue occurs even when the car is going at a speed of 120km/h, and it has happened several times. What could be the solution to this recurring problem?
