ABS Warning Light on and more????
My 2006 Escape XLT just started a very undesirable Indication on the DASH....ABS light on constantly when vehicle is running AND the 4WD light comes on about every three or four minutes and flashes 5 or 6 times.....
I'm sure this is NOT a GOOD thing!!!!
I tried two different times disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes plus.....Still same indication on the dash....
ANY IDEAS....is anything wrong???? How do I get the warning lights OFF????
Vehicle seems fine.....of course its hard to tell with the electronic AWD.
I live 140 miles from the nearest FORD dealer....should I be seeking FORD Help or?????

Without the codes it would be hard to say. But in other Fords it is most common that a wheel sensor is bad and will give you an ABS light. With the Escapes power train configuration it could very well give you a 4x4 light to indicate the failure.

Broken ABS tone ring. Causes the ABS light and the AWD uses the same ring to detect wheel slippage.
Pretty common on Escapes, well, maybe not common, but common enough that I have read about it on several message boards.
