Traction Control Module Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ABS module needs to be recalibrated whenever a component specific to the Advance Trac®/IVD system is disconnected or a new component is installed. For additional information regarding the DTCs that require the recalibration procedure, refer to the Calibration List . If a DTC is logged for any component of the Advance

Trac®/IVD system, the DTC must be cleared before carrying out the recalibration procedure. The need to recalibrate the traction control module is also indicated by the active/fail lamp flashing. The lamp will flash after clearing the DTCs that are indicated on the Traction Control Calibration List. If a DTC is retrieved after recalibration, refer to the ABS/TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS/TRACTION CONTROL WITH ADVANCE TRAC®/IVD Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index . If installing a new traction control module, the calibration procedures as well as the configuration procedure must be carried out. For additional information regarding the module configuration procedure, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .

When carrying out the accelerometer or yaw rate sensor calibration using the diagnostic tool, the vehicle must be on a level surface, must be stationary and the ignition switch must be in the RUN position. When carrying out the steering wheel rotation sensor calibration and the active booster calibration using the diagnostic tool, the ignition switch must be in the RUN position with the engine running and the steering wheel must be rotated back and forth from lock position to lock position.
