Here's an FYI for you Ford Expedition owners. I've had some goofy stuff going on with my front brakes for a while, ABS would momentarily engage even without a foot on the brakes. A couple weeks ago a front caliper locked up on me and because I've had one go bad on an EXPY before I just put on a new caliper. Of course when I went to bleed it nothing came out so the next night I swapped out the rubber caliper hose.
I figured that would fix the ABS problem but nothing in life can be that easy, and shortly thereafter the traction control started kicking in on dry pavement along with the ABS still engaging. I figured a ABS sensor or something and was going to replace it over the weekend but Friday night the engine light came on. The code read "Bank 1 Cam Position sensor inttermittent fault". I reset the code and took another test drive and sure enough the ABS engages and the light came right back on.
Yup, $30 and 1/2 hour to swap it out and no more brake problems. I never would have guessed a cam position sensor would effect the ABS and traction control, but it does.
