Inspection and Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If a new ABS module is installed, it must be configured and the multi-calibration completed. Follow the scan tool directions.
  1. Verify the customer concern.
  2. Verify the stoplamps operate correctly by applying and releasing the brake pedal with the ignition switch in the OFF position. If the stoplamps do not operate correctly, refer to STOPLAMPS . If the stoplamps operate correctly, proceed to the next step.
  3. Verify the PRNDL operates correctly on the instrument cluster. If the PRNDL does not operate correctly, refer to PINPOINT TEST AJ: THE PRNDL INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON . If the PRNDL operates correctly, proceed to the next step.
  4. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

  8. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
  9. Carry out the network test.
    • If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION .
    • If the network test passes, retrieve and record Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).
  10. Carry out the self-test diagnostics for the ABS module.
    NOTE: The vehicle must be at a complete standstill and on a level surface while carrying out the self-test. Any movement of the vehicle during the self-test may result in false DTCs being set.
