Ford Ranger Wildtrak Brake System Issues

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

Don't know whether to post in owners' cars, car mechanics, commercial break, but settled on here as maybe more folk will see it?

I've got a recurring fault on my 2019 Ranger. Just a long shot, but has anybody else seen the warning below & had it fixed? It doesn't leave a fault code so dealer is flummoxed. (sorry about the poor photo, but I think you'll get the gist)

With a potential safety-related fault like that clearly displayed on the dashboard, on a <1 year old vehicle, I would be dropping it off at the dealer and asking them to let you know when it's all sorted.

I tried that. I got bored before they did. I think that is going to be the answer though. I'm hoping it's a glitch in the matrix , rather than a true fault with the brakes.

There is a recall out for some rangers,
It involves new front flexi's and washers.
not sure if this brings the light on.

I have heard in the past the EGR valve wiring is linked to the Abs system.

Thanks for the heads up.

Cheers for that, it's going in shortly so they'll check that

EPB? does it actually work. If its anything like the VW type the lever / switch can cause issues.

Good old fashioned pull up job on the Ranger. Thanks for the thought though.

Hi, I bought a 69-plate ranger last year great truck, but I do tend to go through brake discs quite quickly which is a bit worrying, I've been running fords standard pads and discs has anyone upgraded with better results. any suggestions would be fantastic thanks in advance. for reference ive been through 4 sets of discs/pads this year. i use engine braking where possible but both the dealer and I are flummoxed.

Something seriously wrong there. I keep mine for 3 years and about 45k miles. In that time they have never needed pads,discs or even tyres.

As above, weird! (Unless you are doing 300,000 miles a year)
