The wiring harness to the individual sensors is also a source of water intrusion. A noted, it can be easily determined by a proper diagnosis at a shop equipped with the needed scan-tool.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27702890 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:08:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27701251 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27701251 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 20:44:42 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27699976
Would the whole hub need replaced or just the sensor?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27699976 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 15:09:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27699687 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27699687 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:08:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27694924
I bought this car back in January of this year with 30k miles on it for $3500. It needed about $1000 worth of work just from sitting (Grandma type driver who moved into a home), but it has been reliable since.

Over the summer, whenever it would be driven in hard rain for 20-30 mins, the traction control light would come on. This means that the traction system is disabled. Turning the car off and on reset it and it worked again.

Fast forward to last week with Sandy's rain. It was driven all week in wet roads (never pooling water though) and after 20-30 mins, the traction control would come on. However, after it dried up this weekend and I drove another 150 miles home on the highway which was bone dry. After 20 mins, the traction light came on again. Same thing this morning during rush hour, no water, light on. Every time I restart the car, it goes away.

Any idea on how to fix this? I am pretty comfortable doing my own work.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Help-2001-Ford-Focus-ZTS-Traction-Light-Comes-On-27694924 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:54:19 EDT
