13' Raptor - Service AdvanceTrac/ Hill Decent/ABS Light - Dealer says I need to replace HCU (2k+)

[royfokker]

After my truck was sitting around for a couple months the battery died and after I jump started it my service Advacetrac, Hill decent and ABS fail lights started popping up. The truck drives fine. I tried replacing the battery to see if its a low voltage problem but that did not fix the light. The dealer says my hydraulic control unit needs to be replaced and its a 2k+ fix. Does that sound right?

I had to have the HCU bled out in some odd way on my 06 F150 when my abs light stayed on and it started acting up. It was a pain to do according to the shop i went to but nowhere near 2k. But it didn't have advancetrac of hill ascent either

maybe 3rd brake light would be an easier thing to check first.

That doesn't sound right to me. Do you have forscan to pull codes? Then @FordTechOne could probably diagnos better for you. Most members that have that amount of faults usually have a short in the 3rd brake light, that @The Car Stereo Company mentioned. Did your dealer pull codes, where's the paperwork stating to spend $2,000.00?

I'd get a second opinion. Maybe even a third or fourth.

When mine lit up like a Christmas tree (same warning lights, 2011), it was a front brake line. Mine also pulled hard toward that side upon braking. So many lights, such a tiny issue.
