I saw a question posted about a 2006 Ford Explorer and the traction control light flashing and decelerating when you push on the accelerator. I've had the wheel speed sensor Hub replaced, I've had the driveshaft replaced and had the brakes replaced and my truck is still doing that same thing.

Hi,

The idea of replacing the parts related may not be the cause of the problem. There could be a wiring issue or an issue with the ABS module.

What diagnostic trouble codes are you retrieving? If you haven't checked for codes, I recommend having the can-bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, all the different modules are tied together via a few wires. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

If you have already done this, let me know what codes were found.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
