04 Focus abs & handbrake lights?

Hi everyone,

I have 2004 focus and need some advice. For the last few months I have an intermittent problem where both my handbrake & abs lights either stay on or will flash while I’m driving. I suspect it’s a abs sensor. Is there any way to find out which one is faulty? I’ve used an obd scanner and hasn’t come back with anything.

 

thanks in advance

    Try unplugging each sensor one side at a time👍

    ABS isn't on the standard OBD2 platform.  Forscan would be your best bet for diagnosing.
