Issue with Antilock Brake Fault

Postby Solumrozzy » Thu Mar 07, 2024 10:32 am

Started getting a random display 'Antilock Brake Fault' while driving which also disables all other systems (hill start, auto stop, etc) and lights my whole display up. Last time it happened the touchscreen also rebooted. We have the Qlift installed and larger tires but everything is brand new. The vehicle has less than 2k miles on it. I'm already regretting buying a brand new Ford, nice!

Local dealership has 1.5mo service time and I'm moving across the state so won't have a minute to get it into the dealership. Wondering if the car is ok to keep driving with several trips and a move coming up.

Larger tyres..?? are they fitted to "all" wheels or just the rear..?? If you've changed just the rear tyres for larger ones, you've answered your own question. All tyres "must" be the same rolling circumference or the ABS/TC system will have a hissyfit and disable all other related systems.
