So, I have been having this message flash on my console every now and then. Took it to a dealer last November 2010 and they didn't find any issues and were unable to replicate the problem. (The brakes were changed in Sept. 2010 based on the previous owner's service records)

Now, here's the funny thing....
I took the truck out on 2 long drives in winter (1000 miles+) and it never reported any issues with the brakes. In fact I had no issues with the truck all winter

And now that summer is here, I am getting this issue crop up again.

Anyone else facing the same problem? FEH 2005

Could it be the tone rings, which are prone to cracking?

 

Thanks! Travelover
But, whats wierd is that it never reported anything all winter....
Only when the weather is warmer do I face this issue

 

Dunno. Maybe the rings once split, expand a little and slip once they are warm up ? It is easy to check them - try to rotate them by hand. They are located just behind the outer universal joint on the front wheels.

 

Just checked them today...all four of them and they appear to be firm and in place.

Still no clue whats going on? Even the Ford dealership couldn't find anything amiss...

Is there a temperature sensor of some sort concerning the brake system? Or is there a way to reset the warning....i.e. after normal brake service schedule
