Abs light has been on a long time .last week while driving home the fluse blew no pantel lights no brake or run lights.
Hi Robert
you can check the ABS fault code as following:
switch ignition on and wait for the abs light to start to flash.
it will flash in long and short flashes, long flash stands for ten, short flash stands for one, there is a short pause in between, and long pause after each code, take a note of the code and Google it
good luck
CODE 12 CODE 21

You may have a bad wheel bearing--do you hear a growing noise that gets louder with speed? The wheel sensors on your wheels are sensitive to excess motion between the wheel hub and the wheel, as they have a small gap between the sensor and the tone ring on the axle. The speed sonsors are used by both the ABS and the traction control systems on your truck. You can check your bearings for failure by jacking up the car and trying to shake the wheel. If the wheel doesn't have noticeable play, the bearing may still be bad enough to cause the sensor to misread the speed. If you're not sure, have your mechanic check the wheel bearings. If you have more questions, please let us know.

You likely have a cracked ABS tone ring. I had no idea what that meant when I was researching my girlfriends vehicle (2006 Escape hybrid) but sure enough that it what it was. She was getting the Service 4X4, Service Braking System, and the ABS light was on in the car. The tone ring is a gear that fits on the end of your CV shaft and can be found right behind your tire (if you search this problem on google you should find some pictures). You can see this without removing anything from the vehicle. There is a sensor that counts the gears of this ring as it goes by to determine your speed and whatnot. This information is used by the braking system and if the ring is cracked it will spin freely and the computer will not know what is going on and throw an error (or two or three). You can fix this two ways: replace CV shaft (about a $70 part) or replace the ring itself (a $12 - $15 part). Labor is what is going to get you on this. You can disconnect fuse #34 (5 amp fuse) to disable the ABS, but on my girlfriend's car this also disabled the power steering.
