2007 Lincoln MKX - 3.5L Traction Control Issue FIXED
We have a problem with this MKX, The traction control will intermittently start to cycle, usually on left hand turns. There are no codes in the ABS system and all wheel speed sensors appear normal on the scanner.
Need some help, there is no information on this vehicle.

Re: Lincoln MKX - Traction Control Issue
We installed the Summer tires about a month ago, but the problem just happened on the weekend

Re: Lincoln MKX - Traction Control Issue
This may be a faulty wheel speed sensor. You may not pick this up on the scanner due to it's update speed. There's a TSB on the FWD models for them. Is this a FWD or AWD? What scanner are you using?

Re: Lincoln MKX - Traction Control Issue
Ok. The AWD means the TSB does not apply, but....... I'd check the output of the sensors with a scope just to be sure. What you see on the Verus screen and what the vehicle is doing seems contradictory. Again, the throughput from the DLC is limited.

Re: Lincoln MKX - Traction Control Issue
On the Ford scanner you can select only the PIDS you want to see which greatly improves update speed. That may help.gale wrote:Okay thank you we will try that, we also have a guy that has a ford scanner so if we come to no conclusion maybe we should give him a call

Re: Lincoln MKX - Traction Control Issue
i've found that if i keep the speed at 5mph or under i can get better readings on the scanner. the glitch may be just a "burp" and really make no sense. another tip is while the vehicle is on the life see if there is any wiggle on the wheel using the 6 and 12 position on the wheel.
another thing i do is while driving on a smooth surface will turn the wheel side to side muck like the drivers on the nascar track when they are keeping their tires warm. sometimes i'll hear a slight noise as the load changes. another "as a rule" statement is most of the time i find it's a front bearing and if there is high mileage n the vehicle i quote both bearings. i've also seen the lead from the sensor out of the clips and rubbing against the wheel or tire.........

Re: Lincoln MKX - Traction Control Issue
Thank you everyone, it turned out to be a sensor in the steering angle sensor in the column
