I have the same problem 2018 wildtrack fault code shows rear wheel speed sensor but the full wiring harness needs replacing. £950 at evans halshaw. It’s a joke these issues should not be happening in vehicles until they are 20 years old. All of you need to kick off with ford as I have.

The ABS, ESC, and Hillstart warning messages on your 2019 Ford Ranger could indicate a problem with one or more of the vehicle's safety systems. ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) are important safety features that help prevent skidding and loss of control while driving. If these systems are not working properly, it can be dangerous to drive the vehicle.
To resolve these issues, you should have the vehicle inspected by a qualified Ford dealership or mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem using a scan tool and other diagnostic equipment and make the necessary repairs to get the ABS, ESC, and Hillstart working properly again.
