How to Bleed the Brake System After Installing a New ABS Control Module on 2001 Ford Explorer?

When installing a new four-wheel anti-lock brake (4WABS) hydraulic control unit (HCU) users need to plug in the scan tool DCL cable adapter to the vehicle data link connector (DLC) under the dash before starting the bleeding process as per scan tool instructions. Begin by cleansing the brake master cylinder filler cap followed by its removal for fluid filling of the correct brake fluid into the reservoir. Installation requires the RH rear bleeder screw to receive a drain tube with its other end submerged in recommended brake fluid in a partial container. An assistant must pump the brake pedal while keeping up continuous pressure on it. You should open the RH rear bleeder screw until brake fluid starts to come out before tightening the screw beneath the pressure maintained by your helper. The braking operation requires you to maintain clear fluid production until the reservoir requires filling. Follow the bleeder screw tightening procedure starting with LH rear and then move to RH front and finally end with LH front. The conventional bleed procedure needs to be performed one last time for every corner following the above steps.
