ABS & Traction Control light staying on constantly on my ford focus

williams2014 · Jul 22, 2014

Hello,

I am wondering if you can please help me, I have a Ford Focus Zetec 2000, 2L Mark one

The traction control & ABS light has been on for some while now constantly, I noticed the other day when parked nose up on a hill that when I started the engine the lights were not on, but as soon as I straightened up the lights came straight back on. I have checked the brake fluid level and it is fine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.......

Thanks

Possible Causes are (from bad to good order)

ABS module (uncommon, but can happen)

Wheel Bearing - They have a magnetic ring on the inner side (driveshaft side) that can become detached from the bearing, fooling the system into thinking you have a lock up.

ABS sensor - Easy enough to swap, just soak the securing nut / screw in WD40 well before hand

ABS Wiring Plug - goes brittle and loosens - Replace wiring assy (short loom) with a good one

Fuse blown

Hope that helps
