Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The HCU is used as an electronic proportioning valve for electronic brake distribution (EBD). The HCU controls the brake fluid pressure to the rear brakes to prevent them from applying before the front brakes. If ABS is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, EBD will also be disabled. Instrument cluster failure or a missing instrument cluster message on the HS-CAN bus will also disable EBD.
