How do you keep the traction control off?

[mikeflash]

I had that issue with my early built 2021 premium and after a lot of testing / checking and the dealer having to get Ford Technical Service involved found out there was a coding error in the software. They wrote a software patch for it and the issue was finally fixed.

I stopped by the dealership yesterday. They are un aware of a software fix. Do you have an ssm? Or tsb that I can give them? Was there anything on your paperwork that could be referenced?

I also am having this issue, let me know if your dealer comes up with anything for it.

Do they all have the button? I could swear it was only the GT, at least back in 2021-2022. Right?

My '22 Premium (10/22) has it.

They recognized the issue and said that Ford has a solution. However they need Ford tech services to be on site with them when they work on this. They are trying to schedule something. So it hasn’t happened yet. It is a programming issue but there is not a patch that they can just update the main system with.

When and if they are able to fix it, please post back for I tried to turn mine off and it reacted exactly like yours did, flick it off and it immediately turns itself back on. Job 1 premium extended range

Brought my First Edition in late today. A Ford engineer is going to look at my car tomorrow morning @7:30 am. Not sure what will happen but it is going to be looked at. Finally have a date certain unless something goes wrong between now and tomorrow morning.

Any updates?

I don't have the traction control button near the lights control, but if I wanted it is it possible that the button could be added by my dealer?

Any updates?

The Ford engineer had my FE for two days. They understand the problem but were unable to reprogram the car. So he escalated the issue higher up. They said that they would get my car back in asap. I have not heard anything back from them yet. Sorry. I was hoping that they would have gotten back to me already. So maybe if more people complain about this; now that they are aware of the problem maybe they will work a little harder to fix the issue. If they do get back to me and fix the problem I will let people know the outcome.

Thank you

Was their any update in your end? I took mine in for the same issue and they said they also elevated it to Ford engineering and would get back to me.

Nothing yet. Still waiting. Got some over the air updates but they didn’t affect the traction control problem. Will post when I hear back from them.

My dealer just called and told me that Ford engineers want to reprogram my ABS among other things, my appointment is scheduled for Friday next week so I'll update once it's complete.

Great news. Hopefully it will take care of the problem. Thanks for letting the group know. I still have not heard anything from my dealer. Although they may not be too motivated in my case because they know that I added an EV 9 GT to my group of vehicles in the last month.

Whelp no luck, they said that the next step is to replace the entire ABS module, so they got one on order, but no time line for when it will be installed.
