Clearing Trouble Codes

Memory Erasing

NOTE: Ford DOES NOT provide procedures other than those described to clear trouble codes.

1. The original error codes in the ABS module from the assembly plant will erase automatically if everything is in working order and the vehicle is driven about 40km/h (25 mph).

NOTE: If self-diagnostic PINPOINT TEST STEPS continually lead to REVERIFY symptom, go to ANTI-LOCK QUICK CHECK TEST.

2. All error codes must be output, all malfunctions corrected (anti-lock indicator off), and vehicle driven about 40 Km/h (25 mph) before the memory will clear.

NOTE: Each time the engine is started, the ABS module will count 2 run cycles.

3. The ABS module will erase all stored codes if it counts 250 consecutive run cycles without recognizing a malfunction.
