Brake light, abs, traction control light

Did they replace all the abs wheel speed sensors front and back ? Or just front ? Having the same issues. Originally the problem was intermittent but eventually it stayed on. Battery has been replaced due to a bad starter and starter was replaced. I replaced the left wheel speed sensor but it still says it’s off line but ordered another Motorcraft one for the other side. I thought maybe it Should be replaced in pairs 🤷‍♂️ worst case scenario I got a back up for a faulty one haha. Still wearing my Ford hat proudly.
There are multiple sensors involved in these subsystems, which all have to be working properly.

Having a warning message is a blessing, it means you should be able to hook up a scan tool to find a fault code and go from there. IDK of any other easy way to troubleshoot this unless you want to try to use a multimeter to tap into every sensor circuit one at a time. There is 2014 workshop manual linked in my sig below that has a section on troubleshooting, but again you will benefit greatly from having the fault code read with a scanner capable of Ford-specific codes (not just a simple OBD2 scanner).

Thank you for the quick reply ! I did get it read and it showed the left sensor was out but I had just replaced it and not sure if it didn’t have time to clear. But it’s still showing up with the error. Gonna be replacing the other side in hopes that it will make the error light go away. The print out did say abs module but I felt like it was too soon for it to be out.
