2015 Ford Explorer need help

[Henderson45]

Need help!!!

Car wouldn't start so I replaced the battery. Pos post looked like it had got hot and was corroded. Cleaned it all up got in and started car and the check brake system light, advance traction service lights on. I've tried unhooking -battery cable for 30 minutes to reset lights but didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Run a code scan and see if you have any stored codes. Last time I got brake and service advancetrac warning messages, it ended up being a bad module. I'm not saying that's what your issue is, but you won't know until you scan it and see if there are any codes.

Any idea what type of module?

If you use Forscan (free) and a cheap OBD/USB dongle (~$20 from ebay), you can check for DTCs and it will identify what module they are from on your vehicle. Other codes readers might be able to help, but they might not show all the info that Forscan does.

Welcome to the Forum Henderson45.
A low or bad battery can also give you all kinds of erroneous information.
