I need some sane advice here's my Ford Journey. My RSC warning came up. Replaced ABS Module still have the light coming on. She rides great! But that damn noise is a nuisance. When initially went to the Ford dealer, I purchased from to get this whole issue addressed they told me that my suv is to old for them to fix. Wasn't expecting :oops: that a computer should be able to be programmed and reprogramed. That pissed me off. I love my ride. Any advice greatly appreciated. I tried the negative terminal removal, pressing the skidding car button. Is there a fuse that I can disconnect?
 






1 faulty wheel speed sensor can trigger RSC alarm

Find a shop that has cheap or free diagnostics and have them put on advanced enough scan tool to see live data from each wheel speed sensor and if that's the issue it would be obvious which one is bad.
My experience has been when your sitting still a faulty sensor will send a signal that one wheel is moving. As soon as you put car in drive and start moving the computer will see 3 increasing speed gradually while one is stuck at 22mph ...triggering RSC alarm.

The 2 front sensors are the same part number IIRC but the rear ones are different as one of the cables is longer.

I have an Innova SDS43 ($250 on the shelf at AutoZone) and it was able to provide this live speed sensor data needed.
 






Thanks, I will look into it.
