PegsEdge Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi, I have a 2013 with 56k miles. A few minutes after I start my Edge, and only if I sit in park for a few minutes. The "Traction Control Off" light will come on.. then shortly there after, the "Service Advance Trac" light will come on. If I start the vehicle and drive right away, I don't get any warnings. I'm not pleased as this is the 3rd issue I've had with this vehicle already! I'm noticing a sulfer smell, and I've got some intermittent strange whining noise coming from the dash upon starting. Dealer has me turning off my climate control every time I turn my vehicle off. Seems to be working so far. This vehicle is becoming way too expensive! Any ideas why I'm getting the Service Advance Trac while in park only?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higuera-tax@hotmail.com Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 PegsEdge, did you ever fix or find out what the problem was? I just starting getting the same "traction control off" and "service advance trac" lights on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PegsEdge Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi, I Called the dealer and they told me that they've been having issues with smartphones interfering with the electronics. I quit charging my phone while driving, and it seemed to quit. That's all I've figured out so far. I will update if I find anything else out. Good luck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Can't see a phone interference with the stability system, but ?? My initial guess is it was happening at idle and not on the highway, a faulty ABS module, esp if there is no check engine light and no codes. If a cell phone was interfering with the car's electronics seems to me this would have popped up years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PegsEdge Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks for your input. Yes, it was happening at idle. I'm passing on what I was told by the Ford Dealer. I was instructed to keep my smartphone away from the dash, and I went a step further and chose not to sync or charge my phone while in my vehicle. I figure.. it doesn't hurt anything to do what they recommend. Doesn't cost me a thing to refrain from using my smartphone while in my automobile. It seemed to work until the day I needed to charge my phone, so maybe they are onto something?? It makes absolutely no sense to me either. At this point, there is nothing I can do until the dealer posts a TSB or it gets worse. I mentioned the ABS module, and for a reason I can't remember at the moment.. they didn't think the module was the problem. I'm not sure if it would throw a code if the ABS module went out or not?? This winter I had another issue. One day.. I got a message that I had a battery or charging issue. I took my Edge back to the dealer. They checked the battery and charging system, and found nothing wrong. They mentioned updating software, but I'm still troubleshooting. I hope to have more information collected, then when I do take it in for repair.. they can actually fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PegsEdge Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Also.. It could of popped up years ago on my vehicle. I just bought my Edge last summer. Seems that it started having the issue shortly thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Bogart Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Every once in a while my service advance Trac light will come on when I'm sitting idle for a little bit. I haven't checked with Ford yet, but as soon as I do I will let everyone know what I find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 There is apparently a TSB for this, if it comes on in idle with A/C on or while shifting gears. Requires a PCM recalibration to fix. http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/TSb/DownloadPdf?id=179343 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
