Ford Repair: 2005 FORD ESCAPE, vehicle speed sensor, auto 4x4

Question
I HAVE A 05 FORD ESCAPE V6 AUTO 4X4. ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE 4X4 LIGHT FLASHED AFTER I HAD DROVE FOR A LITTLE BIT AND IT WOULD GO OFF AND COME BACK ON JUST 1 OR 2 TIMES A WEEK. NOW THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AS SOON AS I START THE CAR AND THE 4X4 LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND DOES THIS THE WHOLE TIME THE CAR IS ON.  WHAT CAN BE CAUSING THIS? IS IT SERIOUS?

Answer
Hello Angel, Your ABS is the electronic part of your braking system. You'll need to have a diagnostic performed to see what is causing the lite to come on, your brakes mechanically will function fine but your anti lock part of the may not meaning your brakes may lock up in a panic stop. My guess is a possible vehicle speed sensor,seems to be most common when one acts up. Hope this helps Thanks Tony
