Re: ABS - Is it working?
The wheels will still lock up w/ ABS, it is just for very short bursts of time. If you have ever seen slow motion of a Gran Prix driver under full braking you would better understand what I am saying, the tires/wheel will stop rotating for short periods of time. That would likely be the cause of the tire squeel you heard. Though if the light did not come on during braking i would begin to wonder. The best way i could think to test it, though not really that safe in an SUV would be to find a gravel parking lot, accelerate to about 20 slam the brakes and try to steer. I wouldnt really suggest it, though i am really unfarmiliar with the steering atributes of the escape, and flipping it may not be an issue.
