I’m having a weird event happen with my Cascadia I am unsure what the root cause may potentially be.
When I cold start my Cascadia I don’t have any issues, the lights appear for a couple seconds and turn off as they should.
If I stop at a border crossing for example, and turn it back on 5 min later, the ABS and Wheel Spin lights turn on. After driving for approximately 10 min the Wheel Spin light turns off, followed shortly by the ABS.
Not sure if anyone has any ideas, I’ve spent too much money already having this event troubleshooted.

I’m no expert, but have fixed mine a few times. Usually a sensor wire, rarely a sensor itself. Some have long wires, some are shorter. That is, the longer the wire, more likely the chance of the whole sensor needing to be changed, since the wires are prone to breaking. First step is identifying which wheels causing the problem, using the onboard self diagnostics flash code. Then inspect the wires for visual damage. Sometimes a sensor just needs to be pushed back in up against the tone ring, from the back. They suggest a long wooden dowel rod. I’ve used a long solid 1/4” or 1/2” extension. Don’t use 2 or 3 together as you might loose one inside the drum. Even a long screwdriver works, but risk damaging the wiring at the sensor. Best to have a flat ended extension or something similar. A loose wheel bearing will cause the problem to return. Sounds like that might be your problem. Worth checking, as it can be an early sign of bearing trouble. Though maybe it just needs to be snugged up. May not be anything wrong, systems working correctly. Just being set off because of a loose bearing, causing the sensor to have too large a gap against the ring tone on the hub.

Dollars to donuts you have an issue with a wheel sensor. It's a VERY common problem.
