2010 Explorer Electrical

[BrightExplorer]

Hey Y'all... Been a while.

I recently upgraded from my 03 Explorer to a 2010 XLT...
It currently has 68k miles on it.

This is a 2 part post...

Part 1) Went to a drive thru, and had to jam on my brakes rather hard to avoid someone backing into me as I was pulling forward, now I get an intermittent RSC and Brake system warning... Doesn't come on all the time, but when it does it will chime for about 30-40 seconds repeatedly every few minutes.
I checked the rear tuning rings, they seem to be fine, all the sensors seem to be in place. But like I said, its intermittent, sometimes it will come on when I start the vehicle, other times it won't.

Part 2) I was backing out of my driveway 2 days ago, and my engine seemed to 'hiccup'... Got to a bumpy stop sign in my neighborhood, went to accelerate and my engine cut off threw up a whole lot of indicator lights, radio stayed on.. I coasted to the side of the road, started it back up, it started fine, then the same thing happened.
Let it sit for a minute, started it back up no problem, and drove it back to my house.


Is there some sort of electrical issue that I'm not aware of, loose wire? I checked all the wires I could see, and they all seemed to be in decent shape... Is there a an issue that would cause these 2 things? Could they be linked? I'm at a loss.
Please help if you know.

Probally not linked but could be if its a computer problem. You first need to scan for any codes in all the modules. A cheap obd2 scanner will not give you what you need unless its forscan and a elm327 adapter.

So I just scanned for codes and got:
P1000 (I had recently disconnected the battery)
B1342 Which could mean anything from the ABS system to Ignition issues, which would seem to cover both problems... if its a control module failure

But from what I'm reading it could be ABS, Air Bags (causing them to not deploy or deploy randomly) Ignition, or power steering

*sigh* was hoping to fix this in the drive way instead of taking this to a mechanic and getting hosed on price.

Anyone able to help?

How's the brakes and hubs?

Also, did you check to see if there's any extremely close metal contact on the front abs pickups?

I had a hub go bad on my first Explorer, caused the ABS light to come on. It wasn't bad enough to touch, but it was close enough to trigger a fault code/light. New hub and cleaned stuff off, went away. Just a thought..

That is a good point.
I could use a brake change, I'll definitely look into that while changing the pads.

And it reminds me that I need to check the battery voltage, since my vehicle randomly shut off after making a turn.
The positive battery lead is fairly corroded, or my alternator might be going.
