Problem overview

Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing multiple warning lights, including ABS, ATC, all-wheel drive, and hill start assist, illuminating due to faulty wheel speed sensors. These sensors are crucial for the vehicle's braking systems, and their malfunction can trigger various warning indicators on the dashboard. Specifically, the ABS light may activate when wheel speed sensors fail, as the ABS system relies on accurate sensor readings during braking. In cases of a defective ABS wheel speed sensor, owners may notice a combination of warning lights related to the ABS system, ATC, all-wheel drive, and hill start assist. It is important for owners to address these issues promptly by consulting a professional mechanic to ensure the proper functioning of these critical safety systems.
