Abs light comes on when the van reaches approximately 20 mph. Also the brake light comes on in warm to hot weather. Took the van to the dealership and was told that the problem may be the ecu. I did some research and found this is a very common issue with the Ford Windstar.
Constantly being troubled by the brake/abs light on the dash board. Upon going to auto zone and checking what kind of code comes up for the problem, I received 20+ codes relating to brakes/abs problems. I looked up the problem and discovered it was very popular amongst Ford Windstars from 1999-2003. I have a 2001 Ford Windstar and this problem is very troublesome. Upon requesting a quote to fix this problem, I was looking at $2000+ (parts, labor and warranty). It seems the abs module is bad, and it itself costs $550 just in parts. This problem is persistent among a lot of Ford Windstar and potentially dangerous and life threatening. I would like Ford to take some sort of action and issue a re-call.
