    Hello Peter, we are having a few problems on the forum this week as mystic meg is away on holiday and has taken the crystal ball with her 🤣  There are hundreds if not thousands of faults that could cause those problems. You need to read the DTC's before you can start to work out whats wrong.

    Get a laptop and download FORScan:   https://forscan.org/download.html

    Buy an ELM327 lead from TunnelRat:   https://tunnelrat-electronics.fwscart.com/USB_Modified_with_switch_ELM327/p4541936_17045457.aspx

    Plug it to the OBDII port and find out what DTC problems you have. Once you know the codes we can help you with the problem

    I don’t know the answer but on the two fords I have had, abs fault has not caused limp mode. What code reader are you using? Is it a tunnel rat with forscan software?

    Actually I had a focus that had esp problem, it wasn’t limp mode as such but it kept faltering like it thought I was losing control. I think on that focus the esp swerve sensor was under the drivers seat. Can you turn esp off on the dashboard menu?  If so does it help? I know that’s not a permanent fix but it might help narrow it down

    What is the specific code? There's dozens of ABS related fault codes... 

    Some are Ford specific, so a cheap reader may not pick them up. You'll need Forscan for this.
