If your Kuga’s ABS warning light stays on, a faulty wheel speed sensor is the most likely cause. Learn what to check first and whether you can keep driving.
Why Your ABS Light Stays On
When the ABS warning light on your Ford Kuga III (or Escape) comes on and stays on, it means the anti-lock braking system has detected a fault and disabled itself. In my experience, the most common culprit on these models is a wheel speed sensor. Each wheel has one, and they tell the ABS module how fast that wheel is turning. If a sensor fails, gets dirty, or its wiring is damaged, the module loses that signal and lights up the dashboard.
