WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility and 2022 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description  .

With the ignition ON, the GWM sends messages to the ABS module over the HS-CAN2. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within a certain time frame (usually less than 1 second), the ABS module sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This can be due to a GWM failure, a circuit failure on the FD-CAN or an excessive load on the network.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
ABS U0146:00 Lost Communication With Serial Data Gateway "A": No Sub Type Information This DTC sets in the ABS module if the messages from the GWM are missing for more than 5 seconds.
ABS U0146:87 Lost Communication With Serial Data Gateway "A": Missing Message This DTC sets in the ABS module if the messages from the GWM are missing for more than 5 seconds.
