This was a pain because I didn't know what was wrong with my 4x4 since I live in Wisconsin and Mr. Winter is dumping the white stuff in 4-12 inches at a time.
Dealer told me to wash my truck as the sensor eye might be dirty and told me not to worry about it.

abs light came on followed by the 4X4 light flashing was told by ford garage that this is a very common problem caused by the" toner rings"falling off the front axle at aprox 40,000miles repair would cost a couple to several hundred dollars depending on weather they could replace the rings or had to replace the axles.if this problem is so common the product is obviously defective and should be repaired by the dealers at no cost but they won't do it

Escape Limited V6
My 2005 Ford Escape Limited SUV has 78,000kms on it and the ABS light on the dash is stuck on and also the 4x4 is flashing on the dash as well. I have taken it to be checked out using the diagnostic machine to only be told that they reset the computer sensor and everything is fine. When I picked up my SUV, I just pulled out of the driveway of the garage and then the lights again were stuck on and flashing. I went back to the garage and was told that chances are it's the electrical system. My SUV is now in the shop until they can figure out what exactly is wrong. The mechanic said it may be the wiring harness and if it's not the wiring harness it will be the ABS module(which is quite pricey). I priced out how much a new ABS module would cost from the dealership $338.40(the part is ONLY at the dealership--go figure--gouge city)......
And now the waiting game begins and the very expensive bill .... to find out exactly what is wrong
