Default ABS problem 2010f150 please help

Hey everyone first time on here but figured it's a good start.
My ABS is kicking in usually between 10 and 20kph (6-12mph). It happens. Few times then my ABS light comes on along with my parking break light. Problem gone once the lights on. It seems to do it at random. Fluids good maybe down 20% I'll top it tomorrow. I got a lemon and I'm sick of loosing cash to the dealers so any help is greatly appreciated.

When the light comes on the computer is turning off the ABS controller. It's possible one or both of your rear wheel sensors are going bad. They tell the controller when you are in a hard stop and pulse the brakes to help prevent skidding. I'd start there. If it's not the wheel sensors, the ABS head unit under the hood could be bad. These guys are expensive but can be purchased online for way less than a dealer. YouTube has some great install videos. BTW you can drive safely w/o the ABS being functional. It is an added safety feature only (unless your in a state that requires vehicle inspections for registration)
