The dealer determined that it was a bad wheel speed/abs sensor. They’ve ordered one for me but it’s back ordered and not here yet. I haven’t had the errors since I last picked it up from them so I’m not 100% confident they have it correct.
The following is my guess but I am fully not qualified so take it with a grain of salt. I have some suspicion that it wasn’t in there tight and got dirty when we had a bunch of snow/dirty slush. I’m wondering if they cleaned it up while they were diagnosing the problem and that’s why I haven’t had an issue since. I saw someone mention on here that one of the offrodeo staff said something about dusty wheel speed sensors causing issues which is what lead me to this guess. I saw another member say they had a similar problem with this sensor not being tightened properly.
Good luck. Please let me know if you learn anything more.

Wheel speed sensors are typically mounted in/ near hubs, IIRC...

If you search wheel speed sensor on YouTube you'll find quite a few videos. I haven't crawled under to look but it seems like they're fairly similar from one vehicle to another.

Thanks. I found this about the T6 Ranger out of Australia which shows the R&R of it:
Same issues last night. Probably shouldn't have done the car wash at 6 degrees. Everything was ok today .

If needed a system reset to switch into 4wd and when it did they were stuck on the side of the road, in the snow, at night, with no power and in the pitch black for about an hour

Total faith. I haven't had an issue since the last trip to the dealer. We'll see if it comes back when it snows again. I'm certain it'll get fixed in the end.
Found out I could reproduce it pretty consistently today. I was hanging in my car often, so I would sit there with the accy on until it timed out, then maybe 5minutes later Id hear an audible click from the driver footwell.
then when I went to start the car, Id say the brake pedal felt slightly strange, and when I started it, Id feel and hear a noticeable clunk in the brake pedal (you can hear it in the first second of the video) and then come all the warnings. looks like the parking brake fails to automatically release, though it will release if I push the button or shift into drive.
See what ford says on Tuesday since I'm sure it will be on its best behavior when I get there

@Ares, did you ever get a resolution from dealer service regarding this “issue”? I experienced the same thing you described today.Found out I could reproduce it pretty consistently today.

Hey brianpgreen. Wondering if you have an update. I have similar issues. Just brought my OBX to the dealer and they have no idea what’s causing it. It is clear to me that this only happens when the car is sitting in the cold (around 32degress). In addition to getting the pre-collision warning and parking break error messages, , nothing in the steering wheel consol works and i cannot control the GOAT mode dial. So, on a cold day, with snow perhaps, if i have to put the vehicle in 4WD, I cant. And if I’m turning and want to use the turn signal, I cant. Now, the “sort-of“ good news is that after 10-15 minutes of the car warming up it miraculously all goes away. And now that its spring I haven’t had teh problem. Last time it happened was March 30th. All-in, this has happened 13 times over this past winter
the Dealer first suggested that I wait for this to happen again and bring it in. Thanks, see you in November. When pressed they called the engineers at Ford HQ and were told, again the next time it happens, I should disconnect the battery and do something with some cables, etc, blah, blah. I tuned out after “next time it happens again”. Since it looks like you last dealt with this in teh fall of 21, I’m curious if your problem is solved.
Thx
