Stability/Traction Control System Sensor Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When an ABS system fault has been corrected or an ABS component has been replaced, it will be necessary to calibrate the ABS module. The calibration procedure is required for the stability control sensors to learn the "zero-position" of the vehicle which means the vehicle must be on a level surface and must not be moving.

If a DTC is logged for any component of the stability/traction control system, the DTC must be cleared or repaired before carrying out the calibration procedure except those DTCs indicating a need for calibration. The need to calibrate is also indicated by the sliding car icon, flashing once every 2 seconds.

To carry out the calibration procedure, connect the scan tool, proceed to the IVD Initialization sequence and follow the scan tool instructions.
