You can’t. The fault has to be found and then repaired.

Unfortunately we can’t guess to resolve that. The cars network is complex and requires a lot of skill to fix.

The only hope you have without that is to guess and parts swap and hope like hell after heap has been spent, that you fix it.

Low battery voltage
Faulty alternator
Poor battery health
Faulty sensors
Faulty ABS module
Damaged wiring harness.

To replace the ABS requires some specialised equipment and I’d expect 3hrs labour minimum ($~$500) plus parts, plus diagnostic time before hand to find the fault.

Cars are not cheap to fix anymore.

Thanks for that could i trouble you of asking what a fair price to look for this or how to even ask how to fix it
$150 to $1500, it will depend on what the issue is. The problem is an unknown and could take an hour to fix or 10 hours + to fix.

As already said, you have to fix the fault to get rid of the ABS warning.
Our 2011 VE SV6 was throwing up the ABS warning as well as disabling Stability Control.
Ours turned out to be the left rear wheel ABS sensor. I replaced both the left and right rear ABS sensors and that fixed our VE.
After replacing both sensors a short drive up the street cleared the fault warning.
Not saying that yours will definitely 100% be a faulty ABS sensor however it seems to be a pretty common fault with the VE.
