Traction control light started to illuminate regularly. Went to dealer who noted the problem, worked with Ford who suggested performing TSB on rear differential sensor. Part ordered. Rear differential sensor replaced per factory TSB, problem not corrected. Ford then recommended replacing rear differential control module (DEM). Part ordered. Rear differential control module replaced (3rd trip for same issue) - problem was solved and the repair was successful.
