Ford Focus ABS Fault

I've got a 2016 Ford Focus Electric with about 199403 km on it. The ABS light comes on and off, and I'm having traction problems. Seems like the ABS isn't working right. I checked the fuses, but what should I do next to figure out this speed signal issue?

That sounds frustrating. When the ABS light comes on, does the odometer or speedometer act weird? That might tell you which sensor or part is acting up. Also, did any error codes pop up? A cheap OBD2 reader can check if the car stored something.

Thanks! The odometer seems fine. How do I check for those error codes? I'm not great with car stuff, so any help is appreciated before I take it to a shop.

If the odometer's working, it might not be the wheel speed sensors. Could be the ABS module or its wiring. You'll need an OBD2 scanner, it plugs in under the steering wheel. It should show error codes. If it says ABS module or speed signal, that control unit might be bad. Given the ABS issues, I'd see a professional. Repairs might be around 1000€.

Thanks for the explanation and advice. I'll get it checked out at a shop. Knowing the possible cause and cost helps. Thanks again!
