So I had driven my 2026 Ranger XL for a short errand this morning. I went out and started it later on and got the errors you see attached. I started it later on and did not receive any messages.

I had the same issue at the end of July and start of August. It was diagnosed as a failed wheel speed sensor. I bought my truck June 23 and it has been in the shop on two different occasions for a total of 15 days. The truck drove with no issues after the initial message.

An attorney I work with is active in the Lemon Law field. He said lemons do exist but more people believe they have a lemon that actually do.

I am going to be at Ford tomorrow, first thing. Anyone else with a Ranger needing multiple attempt to fix something like this? The first question, in my mind, is did the same sensor they replaced, fail again?

Look forward to your replies.

Welcome to computers on wheels. Every little thing has a sensor on it and sometimes they don't talk with each other.

When I bought my Ranger I started to get this message. I took my Ranger to the Ford Dealer and they were convinced mice had eaten my wiring and wanted my truck for a week. A couple of other people in this forum were getting the same message. At this point I cancelled my week long appointment at the Ford dealer and referred him to this forum showing other people getting this message.

I got a software update a couple of week later and I never got the message again
