FF abs, traction, handbrake lights flashing

Panthro

Hi all

Non knowledgeable car owner seeking advice.

I've a 2011 ford focus. When I was driving along a few weeks ago, the handbrake, abs and traction control lights started to flash up intermittently. Bit of a scare as I was on the motorway and for a split second it felt like the car was about to stop in its tracks.

Took it to a garage. They plugged it in for diagnostic nothing came back. They did say the alternator was over charging so I had it replaced.

Lights still flashed up intermittently.

Brought it back the garage, asked them to check the sensors were all ok. (I'd been googling) They said they were and couldn’t see whats making the lights flash up.

The service engine light then came on. So I took the car along this time to a different garage and asked them to service it and also do a diagnostic test as I began to notice the power when on when incline was dropping. Cars seems much better after the service. Nothing else came up on their diagnostic test.

Driving along today the flipping abs, handbrake and traction control lights started to flash up again.

What in the gremlins is going on?

ABS and Traction Control would both be linked to the wheel speed sensors. The handbrake light could be on the 'system' as the traction control.

The sensors should only be a few quid and should take a decent mechanic less then an hour to change.

I would get both sides done while the mechanic has it up in the air.
