Wheel speed sensors are part of the system. It might pay to check if they are all sending the correct info to the electrical brains of the system.

You might ask the shop if they have the equipment to test and diagnose the system. They may be able to find the problem. Otherwise you may be better off having the dealer do it.

dimasp28,
So much depends on the year and model of the vehicle before an intelligent answer should be suggested since all vehicles are not the same.

Same issue I was having with my 2004. Sometimes it would come on driving down the driveway, 1/10 mile down the road or 10 miles down the road. My 04 Limited was popping the "TRAC OFF" constantly at any speed and distance (bad brake pressure sensor switch). But it always came on. Yours could also be a bad brake pressure sensor switch. It took me about 2 months to fix. I had the part, but it took me that long to get around to actually replacing it. It's a 15 minute job if you drink a cup of coffee. Remove the air cleaner housing and MAF sensor housing/tube for access. The sensor screws into the bottom front of the master cylinder. Just unplug the sensor, unscrew it (a few drops of brake fluid will come out) and screw in a new one. Ford part number is "7F2Z9F924A". I paid $23.82 + tax at the local FORD dealer.

Why are you using PREMIUM gasoline? All it does is causes a loss of power, mileage, greater chance of severe pinging causing damage and $$$ out of your pocket.
