If the problem has been repaired than the light will go out automatically. If you have not repaired the problem the light will not go out even if you try to clear the codes with a scan tool.

Your best bet is to scan the ABS module with a scan tool and find out what codes are stored. Then you'll have a much better idea of what the problem could be.

Most vehicles that display Warning lamps DO NOT clear or turn off Safety System(s) warning lamps. They MUST be cleared with a scanner. Other NON-Safety warning lamps WILL clear themselves after the problem has been corrected, and the computer runs its next diagnostic scan.

SOURCE: abs light on car has been to ford dealer problem

If you paid good money to have it fixed at a FORD AGENT then take it back and tell them that you are going to wait for it and dont take any **** from them as all work done by a Ford agent will be under warranty so if its still in warranty time take it back, or tell them your take it to the papers and let them tell the world..
It works belive me.
Let me know how you get on . RON

SOURCE: my abs light stays on on my ford focus

when the ABS light stays on it means there is a fault present in the ABS system and the ABS has been disabled, as long as the light is on u just have regular brakes with no ABS, there are many thinbgs that can turn the light on, most common is one of the wheel speed sensors is defective, since these sensors are about $75-100 each and there are 4 of them guessing is a poor idea, so what u need to do is have the ABS systwem tested, there will be a fault code present to help narrow down the defective part or wiring.

2003 ford focus zetec ABS light flashes on intermittently. What is the cause?

an interminnent flash of the ABS light generally indicates a fault in the ABS system. It will flashing a code to you. Causes for this kind of problem are usually a sensor or air bag resistance out of range - too much, or not enough resistance. You might be able to find out on line what the code means. To read the code, they are generally groups of flashes. watch it carefully, there should be a big pause at some stage, that is the end of it's cycle. Now watch and count the flashes, for example- . . . - . . . . - . . - would be the code 342. If you have no luck finding the codes online i recommend calling your local ford dealership
