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

  A: A prerequisite for servicing or repairing Antilock Control and Traction Control along with Stability Assist in the Electronic Brake Control Module is to upload configuration information to the diagnostic tool prior to module removal because the data must be downloaded to the new replacement module post-installation. Start by disconnecting the ground cable from the battery and afterward raise and support the vehicle. Uninstall the HCU dust shield after you remove its mounting screw and bolts. Users should disconnect the stability assist module electrical connector through the rearward manipulation of its connector lock. The HCU bracket frame bolts must be removed before lifting the bracket hooks from the frame while lowering the HCU to access the stability assist module. Lifting only straight up will protect HCU components from damage. Uninstall the stability assist module by removing its mounting bolts. Transfer the stability assist module configuration data received from the scanning tool to the recently installed component. Vehicle drive behavior could show abnormal symptoms during this process because the adaptive strategy needs to be relearned through driving at least 16 km (10 miles). Prior to new module installation wash the HCU surface while both components of the electrical connector need cleaning before connection. Apply Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (WA-10) to the weather seal gasket while it fulfills Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A. The procedure ends with an opposite sequence of the removal steps.
