ABS Module Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford RV Cutaway, 2009 Ford Econoline, 2009 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2009 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When a new ABS module, HCU , RCM or steering wheel rotation sensor is installed, the ABS module must be calibrated. The calibration procedure is required for the ABS module to learn the "zero-position" of the various ESC/RSC® sensors and components.

If a DTC is logged for any component of the ESC/RSC® system, the DTC must be cleared or repaired before carrying out the calibration procedure. The need to calibrate the ABS module is also indicated by the stability/traction control indicator "sliding-car icon" in the IPC flashing once every 2 seconds. The indicator flashes after clearing the DTCs that are associated with the ESC/RSC® systems.

To calibrate the ABS module, carry out the IVD Initialization sequence using the scan tool. When carrying out the calibration procedure, the vehicle must be on a level surface and must not be moving. If a DTC is retrieved after calibration, refer to the ABS MODULE DTC CHART .
