UPDATE: ABS / TCS is out again.
Dry as a bone around these parts for 48 hours now.
Think this tends to confirm an electrical problem somewhere.
Will crawl underneath and investigate after our company leaves today.
Thanks again for the reply.
Well, it started with C1242 which mysteriously corrected itself as we entered a dry spell with warmer weather.
If it was a motor / gear nut problem, it wouldn't go away on it's own, I would thing. If it were the motor was sticking or binding, maybe. Seems to have been triggered by moisture.
The fact that it generated some other codes (didn't scan for them, but they appear to be 'stray') as described by the symptoms / warning lights suggests it's not a mechanical problem, but an electrical one, brought on by rain and moisture.
I'm going to pull all the connectors on the underside of the van that I can get to, (the rear hubs are a PETA as the wires are tucked behind the hub), check for corrosion and clean and grease them to see if the system settles down.
Worst case, I get my neighbor / mechanic to pull the ABS module off and check the general operation and the gear nuts.
