ABS illuminated???
Well it illuminated today wile we were driving.
Since Ive never dealt with issues of ABS on my other vehicles,
where can I start??
Simce its not a check engine light I doubt I can use my code scanner?
I have a FSM and code scanner but will it work??
Any hints or suggestions to fix the wifes Expy would be appreciated.
What stuff fails on these at such low miles(45k) Im a little bummed..

Most likely it is the speed sensor on the rear diff. This is a common problem on expy/navigators. When I would crank my truck, the ABS light would not be on, but once the truck moved slightly it would illuminate and stay on. The speed sensor is on top of the rear diff. Simply unclip the plug and remove one bolt and the sensor pulls out. A new sensor is ~ $18 at the Ford dealer. There is a good thread discussing this, unfortunately I could not find it.
