As one thing gets fixed another goes bad. I am waiting for a catalytic converter from Rock Auto and the Trac off light starts blinking. I did some checking and found a tsb of sorts for Windstar 94 / 97 (I wasnt aware there was a 94) It said something about a mis communication with the PCM.
Bulletin CQB 00-01 Trac off iluminated with trouble code U1009 and or U1027. It says to reprogram the PCM if this exists. However I am not getting a cel. Is anyone or has anyone had this problem? It resets itself after the ignition turns off and about 5 minutes of driving brings it back on. Is a Actron 9135 Code reader capable of reading U series codes. In my book it only goes as high as U0327. A link to the tsb

It may lead to a broken abs wheel sensor tone ring on front axel.
Have a quick look at them they will crack or slip over.
If not that.
First you need to get it on a good engine /transmission/body/Gem/ABS brake capable scanner and check for codes.
You will probably need to find a good repair shop to do the scan I do not think AZ or many parts places have the good full scanners to do the job.
Post back codes and we can go from there.
Good Luck
