My 99 explorer has had an issue this summer while driving after about 20-25 minutes. What happens is first the abs light will come on, if I lift off the throttle it will go off. If I stay on the throttle it will stay on and eventually then the speedo will start swinging erratically. Again if I let off the throttle, it will return to normal. If I stay on the throttle at this point eventually the truck has a hard shut down. Once it does this, it will coast a while and eventually power back up and proceed driving ok. It will most likely do this again, but not all the time.
I’ve replaced the Interstate battery with another battery and all was good for a few months. Now issue is back again. Interstate battery tested fine with no issues but I wasn’t convinced the heat of summer wasn’t exposing a bad cell. Well apparently that want the deal. So the issue is back with a different battery.
I know that the vss can cause abs light and swinging speedo but I’ve never heard of it causing this hard power cut.
Thinking issue with GEM module maybe or wiring? Anybody have suggestions?
