Ford XL2Z-2C204-AB
ABS Sensor, Front

The service procedure for front ABS sensors in 4x2 vehicles requires lifting the vehicle for support. The front ABS sensor wire must be disconnected both from the vehicle frame and its electrical connector. After disconnection, the sensor wire needs to be unclipped from the frame. The front ABS sensor requires removal through the process of unscrewing its bolt until the sensor can be extracted. Before cleaning the mounting surface, the sensor mount opening needs to be plugged. High-Temperature 4x4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease E8TZ-19590-A following Ford Specification ESA-MIC198-A should be used for the application. Reverse the steps of removal to finish the installation.

Service of the rear ABS sensor begins by raising the vehicle for support. Prior to removing the rear ABS sensor, you should clean away all debris and dirt from its surrounding area. First, disconnect the electrical connector of the rear ABS sensor, followed by bolt removal before deleting the sensor unit. First, inspect the ABS sensor O-ring for any damage before performing installation by thoroughly cleaning the mounting surface. Before applying High Performance Rear Axle Lubricant F1TZ-19580-B or another equivalent lubricant that fulfills Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, you should apply a light coating. The new sensor installation requires a backward execution of the removal process.

Vehicle service of the rear ABS sensor begins with raising and supporting it. Wash away all dirt covering the rear ABS sensor before beginning any removal process. Separate the electrical connection before removing the bolt that will release the sensor. Wash the sensor mounting area properly while checking the O-ring on the ABS sensor for damages and applying a thin layer of axle lubricant. The sensor installation will end after performing the removal steps in reverse order.

Service of the front ABS sensor begins with vehicle lifting and supporting. First disconnect the front ABS sensor wire from the vehicle frame followed by disconnected electrical connector steps then unclip the sensor wire from the frame. Begin by uninstalling the front ABS sensor through a process of removing its bolt and sensor component. First clean the mounting area completely then apply High Temperature 4x4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease E8TZ-19590-A as per Ford Specification ESA-M1C198-A to the sensor mount space. Complete installation of the sensor requires following the inverted steps of removal.

The servicing of the rear ABS sensor starts by raising your vehicle and putting it on a support. The first step should be to remove any debris from around the rear ABS sensor before disassembly. You should detach the electrical connector of the rear ABS sensor before uninstalling the bolt which allows you to remove the sensor. Wash the mounting area completely afterwards to check for damage on the ABS sensor O-ring. Use SAE 75W-140 High Performance Rear Axle Lubricant F1TZ-19580-B or an equivalent product with Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A for minimal O-ring lubrication. The installation process ends by following all steps in reversed order from removal.
