ABS Traction
2018 F150 Lariat 2.7, this has happened 3-4 times now, usually on first start within minutes of driving away, I will hear the ABS grinding and the light will flash on the dash. Any thoughts?

Just a guess with nothing more to run with.
At the time the vehicle moves, a diagnostic is done by the system to determine if the sensors, there plug-up and harness is good to the ABS unit.
This test cannot be done unless the vehicle is moving at a min, speed for the Sensors to register movement.
Something is loose, damaged or intermittent.
Only way to see what is catch a code when it happens or go over everything and hope to be lucky and never know what it was or comes back to haunt later.
Good luck.
