2014 international terrastar electrical problems

deja Vu!

We see the ABS module fault a lot on our ProStars, but not the failure of the transmission to work properly. Navistar has not been able to resolve the issue.

 

Word for word the same post then the OP threw out half of it. I wonder why...

 

Terrastars aren't massively produced like a Prostar is, so we do not see too many of them, especially one that is an ambulance. I have seen several larger model firetrucks and police units that have issues like this. To be honest, the firefighters where shutting off the truck by the master switch and this caused hard-shutdowns of the electronics and caused programming corruptions. Turning off the master switch while running is the same as shutting off your computer by pulling the cord out of the wall. Eventually you will corrupt something. The police unit had several 3rd party devices attached to the vehicle datalink. Once these devices were unplugged the problem was fixed. Once the devices were plugged back in, the problem stayed away too? I suspect something was locked up electronically and was corrupting the datalink so other devices could not communicate with each other. Once again, reboot the electronic devices is the first move. Try to disconnect the batteries for 5 mins and reconnect and retry.

 

Hello everyone. I have 2013 international terrastar. ABS light was on for few days then I thing brakes got locked. When I put in drive it doesn't move and makes a horrible sound like something is breaking like teeth on disc or something. When I put in neutral no noise. When I put in reverse it drives and no noise. My dashboard also says ABS Module. Any advice, anyone please. Thanks Mark

 

Any wheels about to fall off?

 

Didn't check will do so tomorrow morning. Do you know where abs module is located in this model? Is that what I need to change?

 

No, the cluster is just displaying which module is reporting a fault. It doesn't mean the ABS module is bad, just that there is an active ABS code. I asked about the wheels because it does sound like a wheel bearing has let go from the sound and feeling you are sensing. A wheel falling off because of failed bearing will also cause an ABS fault since the sensor rides against the hub.
