Clearing Trouble Codes

NOTE: Ford DOES NOT provide procedures to retrieve or clear trouble codes without the New Generation Star (NGS) tester.

1. Connect the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester 418-FO48 (007-00500) or equivalent scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel to perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS test. If the scan tool responds with NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED for the anti-lock brake control module, GO to Pinpoint Test E. If the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS test is passed for the anti-lock brake control module, retrieve continuous DTCs and execute Self Test Diagnostics for the anti-lock brake control module to retrieve current DTCs.
2. If self-test is passed and no DTCs are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
3. If DTCs are retrieved, GO to the Anti-Lock Brake Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics. Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
4. If the anti-lock brake control module cannot be accessed by the scan tool, GO to Pinpoint Test E. E No Module Communications

Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS) 418-F001 (001-00001) may also be used to diagnose this system.
