What is the ABS code on a 2007 Freestyle FWD?

I have an ABS light on a 2007 Freestyle FWD after replacing a rear hub assembly last week. The code is C1299 “Left Rear Wheel Speed Signal Malfunction”. I will be replacing the cheap Duralast part I put in with a Moog on Monday, and will report back if that fixes it.

What does the traction control light on my Ford Freestyle mean?

Mine is truly kicking the traction control on and slowing down the vehicle. Mine has only happened from a complete stop and during a left and right hand turns. Very dangerous situation if you are expecting your vehicle to GO when you push on the gas and it just launches you out into traffic and almost stops.

What’s the OBD code on my Ford Freestyle?

The OBD code I got from the vehicle was C1165 Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Input Circuit Failure, so same wheel as Airlinepilot’s T-Rex.
