Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ABS module controls the foundation brake function as well as anti-lock braking. Any malfunction of the ABS module disables the ABS and the ABS warning indicator illuminates. However, the power-assist braking system still functions normally.

The ABS module is on the high speed CAN. If 1 of the 2 bus wires becomes shorted to ground or voltage, communications on the CAN may not be possible. If there is an open in the network, communications may continue between some modules depending upon the location of the open circuit. Check the high speed CAN circuits 1908 (WH) and 1909 (BK) between the ABS module C1462 and the DLC C251. Total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms, there is an open circuit in the high speed CAN, damage to the DLC C251, damage to the ABS module C1462, or a problem in the in-line connector.
