I suspect the function of the cars ECU that handles the ABS has a problem and needs looking at, from what is described there.

Seeing as the Focus has been on sale in Europe alot longer and could be out of warranty, I'd recommend one of two things.

Take it to Ford and see what they say, might just need an ECU reflash, or alternatively...

Buy an ECU from a wrecked Focus and fit it in replacement.

The only other thing I could think of at fault would be the ABS sender module, but the signs point towards the ECU.

also he could clean the abs sensors on the wheels they can get dust ,grease what have you on them and intermitantly work. sometimes they need to be adjusted or replaced. but sometimes just i wipe with a cloth.

I'm not sure that would give DTC errors for the ECU and the ABS but it can't hurt!
