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

SOURCE: our abs light advtrac light

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.

SOURCE: 2006 ford escape 37,000 miles. My abs light stays

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.

2006 ford escape.. #1. abs light on & stays on. #2. 4wd light comes on,flashes 8 times then gos off

Changing the sensors &/or tone ring may work temporarily but it won't last. I have a 2005 and have had it done and it kept happening. Had it serviced at dealer, asked dealer how to fix it or make light go out and on and on....after I think 5 yrs. it is still on. It hasn't affected my vehicle as far as I can tell. Comes on blinks 8 times, goes off....drive another 8/10ths of a mile and it comes back on, flashes eight times...and so it goes tidily bomMust be an Escape kinda thing.
