Pinpoint Test C : The Abs (Anti-Lock Brake System) Module Does Not Respond To The Diagnostic Scan Tool

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford Transit Connect. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refer to Module Communications Network for schematic and connector information. Refer to Vehicle Dynamic Systems for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The ABS module communicates on the HS-CAN2. REFER to: Communications Network - System Operation and Component Description .

Possible Sources
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals and connectors
- ABS module
Visual Inspection and Pre-checks
- Verify BJB fuses 41 (60A), 51(30A) and 56 (5A) are OK.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings.

C1 CHECK THE ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect: ABS module C135.

Ignition ON.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C135-1	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground
C135-30	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground
C135-35	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Are the voltages greater than 11 volts?

Yes

GO to C2

No	VERIFY BJB fuses 41 (60A), 51 (30A) and 56 (5A) are OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. If not OK, REFER to OEM Electrical Wiring Diagram Introduction to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.

C2 CHECK THE ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Ignition OFF.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C135-14	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	Ground

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?

Yes

GO to C3

No	REPAIR the circuit.

C3 CHECK THE HS-CAN2 (HIGH-SPEED CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK 2) CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) MODULE AND THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) FOR AN OPEN

Disconnect GWM C2431.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead
C135-43	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C2431-18
C135-42	Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY	C2431-17

Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?

Yes	CONNECT the GWM, GO to C4

No	REPAIR the circuit in question.

C4 CHECK FOR CORRECT ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) MODULE OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect the ABS module connector.

Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the ABS module connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.

Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes

CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new ABS module. REFER to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) And Stability Control .

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
