AdvanceTrac service light on, plus others

[s550hopeful]

So I tried searching through Google for people with this issue, but really got nothing.
Today on my way to lunch, driving at a normal pace, this "AdvanceTrac service" light came on. Along with it I got the Trac off light, traction control, ABS light, and the airbag light. Didn't really notice anything different while at that speed, but I did once I got to a stop. From a stop a can feel the steering become stiffer, as if no power steering. Also, I have to give it more throttle so it won't stall, it's a noticeable difference.
I called the dealer and will be taking it in first thing in the morning. Just curious if anyone has gotten this issue, and of so, what was the issue and solution.

Looks like ABS light is on. I guess maybe the connection to steering wheel is damaged?
Not the first time I heard car manufactures replacing steering wheel wiring harnesses.

Well I dropped it off to Ford this morning, let's see what they come up with.

I blew a fuse and mine came on. It was the top fuse in the passenger foot area, it was a long time ago so I forget what that actual fuse was for.

Did you notice any symptoms? Besides just seeing the lights.

It didn't occur when I was driving. I started it up in the garage and all that stuff came on and then stayed on. I read a bunch of stuff on the internet and thought I was going to have to get it towed but after going through all the fuses I realized I blew that one.

UPDATE... Dealer called, its some sensors and will be ready tomorrow

Thinking maybe one of the wheel speed sensors.

The service guy mentioned one for the traction control, ABS sensor, and another I don't remember that was completely destroyed. I'll update with clearer details tomorrow once I pick it up.

Looks like a wheel speed sensor issue. I had the same thing happen on a different car. It could also be a bad fuse sensor. All of the systems are interconnected, so a Traction Control System fault can cause the ABS to go on, power assist for the steering to stop, etc.

Might be a sign of things to come with sensors. I was told that one was completely destroyed. Guessing it triggered the others to show faulty.

Physically destroyed ... How?
