kumara Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi all, I have a problem on my Ford Escape. One fine day about 4 week back, when I start moving after Traffic Signal become green, dashboard started showing HandBrake light, ABS light and Traction controls lights on all the time. I then took it to a known Garage, they checked and said, sensors are all fine, but could be a problem of Car ECU. New ECU is very costly at the Agency. Anybody there to give me an expert advise? Thanks a lot! Happy driving...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Mellish Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Good afternoon, I would not buy another ECU as this problem may be a switch or sensor that links the three circuits/systems. Look at finding a wiring diagram to source and fix the issue Regards, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treks Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Richard is right- this is very unlikely to involve the ECU. Best thing to do is to have a diagnostic scan done to get the codes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can contact @Barry through the forum here, and twist his arm to run a diagnostic for you. He has a professional-grade computer, and he know how to use it, so he might be your best bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 There are so many General service workshop listed from Dubai in Carnity Business listing section. They all provide special pricing and honest service for Carnity members, select any which is close to your area like in Rashidiya, Al Quoz, Aweer, Deira etc. and get the OBD Scan to get the codes (max 100 dhs). And come back and let us know the exact codes so that experts can advise you the next course of action. I seriously think your known garage is not well equipped to advise you in the right direction, as ECU failure is one in 10,000 and more often some of the sensor, wiring or connector fails that throw some error so that you can debug in the right direction. And due to this sensor or connector failure, all light comes up at the same time. https://carnity.com/business_listing/car-services/general-service-workshop/?advanced_search_submitted=1&csrfKey=88a330f554c7c70fb7391466ab9d93c7&content_field_30[1]=Dubai&sortby=primary_id_field&sortdirection=desc&record_type=all&time_frame=show_all Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Barry Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Need to check the steering angle sensor and wheel speed sensors and associated wiring as these could cause that particular combination of lights to come on. There’s also a possibility of faulty dash clocks or wiring to the dash clocks, or a loose connection somewhere in the ignition loom. ECU is unlikely to be faulty and it’s an expensive part to throw at it without a proper diagnosis. Find a better garage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumara Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Thanks a lot for all your advice. I went to a garage in Sharjah, near Hyper Ramez on SMBZ Road. They fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
