What this video covers

A Sprinter van’s ESP, ABS, and traction control warning lights, which had remained illuminated since the vehicle traveled the Pacific Coast Highway in Oregon, were resolved by replacing a disintegrated axle seal and the associated axle assembly. The repair also addressed a secondary issue where leaking axle grease had contaminated and ruined the parking brake shoes. Mechanics performed the work in San Diego, restoring the van's cruise control and braking systems. The owners noted that the axle seal failure was a complex repair that required professional intervention rather than DIY troubleshooting. Following the repair, the van is being prepared for a trip to Oklahoma, where the owners plan to swap summer gear for winter equipment and conduct a full inventory of their onboard supplies.
