Normal Operation And Fault Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford Transit Connect. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With the ignition ON, the ABS module sends messages to the SECM over the HS-CAN 2 and through the SASM. If the SECM does not receive these messages within a certain time frame, the SECM sets a DTC. For information on the messages sent to the SECM by the ABS module, refer to the Network Message Chart in the Description and Operation in the  Power Steering  article.
