Did the issue trace back to the ABS control unit? The diagnostics indicate that as a potential problem. I'm trying to understand the scope of the required repairs.

Yeah man, it was a total pain! I took it to my usual workshop. They ran a diagnostic and immediately said the ABS control unit was toast. Sadly, they were right. I think I remember the same symptoms, so it probably is that. Better get it checked!

I'm grateful for the confirmation. The workshop quoted a repair cost of 1000€. It appears a replacement of the control unit is necessary. Thank you.

Dude, I think I had something similar happen in my Excursion! No idea on the build year, but my dashboard lit up. The speedo went bonkers too! Is it throwing any codes? I remember having to pull over 'cause the ABS kept kicking in for no reason. Super annoying!
