  Q: How to Service the ABS Control Module on Ford Explorer Sport?

  A:

  The Electronic Brake Control Module service requires users to detach both the battery ground cable and all electrical connectors before beginning the work. Services require removing the anti-lock brake control module after releasing its retaining bolts. The new module needs installation followed by understanding the potential requirement for module configuration entry. The procedure of disconnecting and reconnecting the battery results in abnormal drive symptoms because the vehicle must relearn its adaptive strategy through minimum driving distances of 16 km (10 mi) or more. An inverse process of removal will finish up the installation.

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

  A:

  The process of bleeding the brake system starts by following the scan tool instructions for bleeding through the connection of the DCL cable adapter to the vehicle DLC under the dash following installation of a new 4WABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU). First clean the Brake Master Cylinder filler cap before adding DOT 3 brake fluid into the reservoir while avoiding the reservoir from drying out. A clear drain tube should connect to the right-hand rear bleeder screw, which receives its other end in a container containing recommended brake fluid at a partial level. Position the brake pedal while an assistant keeps continuous pressure on it. The right-hand rear bleeder screw needs to be released gradually so brake fluid can flow but the screw must be tightened when the assistant applies pressure. Use this technique until you observe pure fluid that does not contain bubbles while continuously supplementing fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir. The system bleeding sequence starts with the left-hand rear bleeder screw followed by the right-hand front bleeder screw then ends with the bleeding of the left-hand front bleeder screw. Rinse and repeat all the bleeding procedures for ensuring correct brake operation.
