A problem with the Anti-lock Brake System has been detected . It could be a

On a 1998 Ford Escort : It could be equipped with ABS brakes . When you turn the ignition key to the run position , just before starting the engine , see if there is an ABS light that lights up momentarily in the lower left area of your dash ( assuming the bulb is not burned out , or if it is not equipped with ABS brakes )
On a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 there will be an " ABS " warning light under the engine temperature gauge . When you turn the ignition key to the run position , just before starting the vehicle , the light should come on for a few seconds to prove that the bulb works ( I don't know if ABS was a standard feature on the ZX2 model )
Could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem
Bring t a shop that has an ABS scanner to determine the problem
check your fuses
ABS did not come standard on the ZX2, but that was an available option. You can tell if yours has it by turning the key to the ON position but not starting up. If you have ABS, it will light up on the control panel.
If the ABS light is on , a malfunction has been detected . It could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem
when you turn the car on, usually the lights on the dash show up "ABS"

ABS stands for Automatic Braking System. The ABS light in a 1997 Ford Explorer will come on when this braking system is activated.
how do you check the abs sensor on a 1998 contour
If the ABS light is on the ABS system has a problem and is not functioning. Until the problem is repaired the light will remain on. Take it to a mechanic and have it diagnosed.
