2001 Ford Windstar ABS Control Module Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service the ABS Control Module on 2001 Ford Windstar?

  A: Service on the Electronic Brake Control Module begins by transferring the data from the module configuration to the scan tool before removing it because this information must be added to the new module after installation. The battery ground cable should be disconnected then the vehicle needs lifting up for work access to begin. Use a screwdriver to remove the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) dust shield after unfastening its screw and bolts. The anti-lock brake control module electrical connector needs disconnecting while sliding its connector lock towards the rear. Begin the process by removing three HCU bracket to frame bolts and raising the bracket hooks from the frame to lower the HCU and reach the anti-lock brake module. The technician should perform a straight upward lift action since it protects HCU parts while removing the anti-lock brake module by removing its bolts. When installing the new module proceed by retrieving its configuration data from the scan tool. Normal driveability problems may emerge after battery removal and reinstallation because the vehicle needs to adapt through prolonged driving of at least 16 km (10 miles). Before putting in the new module you should clean both the HCU top and the harnesses and module sides of the electrical connector. The installation requires weather seal gasket lubrication with Silicone Brake Caliper Grease followed by Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (WA-10) that fulfills Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A requirements. The finishing step of installation requires performing the removal steps in reverse order.
