2002 Ford Windstar ABS Control Module Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Service and Repair the ABS Control Module, Including the Antilock and Traction Control on 2002 Ford Windstar?

  A: The Electronic Brake Control Module service requires a step of uploading module configuration data to the scan tool before module removal because this data will be needed to download into the new module after installation. Start by disconnecting the battery ground cable and supports the vehicle through a lift. Next remove the HCU dust shield by first removing its bolts and the screw. The anti-lock brake control module electrical connector requires sliding the connector lock in the reverse direction. Workers should first remove the three HCU bracket to frame bolts before lifting the bracket hooks from the frame to lower the HCU for access to the anti-lock brake module. Raise the HCU components vertically only to maintain proper assembly while removing anti-lock brake module bolts. The module installation process requires a download of configuration data from the scan tool. The adaptive learning process through battery connection and reconnection will result in abnormal driving symptoms until the vehicle completes at least 16 km (10 miles) of normal operation. Cleaning operations must precede installing the new module for both the HCU top surface along with harness and module connector sides. Apply Silicone Brake Caliper Grease together with D7AZ-19A331-A (WA-10) Dielectric Compound for this task because these materials satisfy Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A. The final step for installation requires following the process which reverses the uninstallation steps.
