Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Make sure the vehicle battery terminals and cables are free of any corrosion and other contaminants.
- Make sure the vehicle battery terminals are tightened to their correct torque specifications.
- Make sure BJB fuse 87 (60A) and the fuse socket are OK.NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.CONNECTOR PIN REFERENCE (HARNESS SIDE)
Circuit Pin Motor B+ (Battery Voltage HCU Motor) - SBB87 1 (YELLOW/RED) GND (Ground) - GD121 14 (BLACK/YELLOW)
- H1: CHECK THE VEHICLE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM
- Verify the vehicle battery and charging system are operating correctly. Refer to Inspection and Verification in CHARGING SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION (EXCEPT HYBRID) Diagnosis and Testing.
- Are the battery and charging system operating correctly?
Yes No Go to H2. FOLLOW the diagnostic repair directions as instructed in CHARGING SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION (EXCEPT HYBRID) Diagnosis and Testing.
- H2: VERIFY ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS
- Ignition OFF.
- ABS Module connector disconnected. (C135)
- Using a good light source, inspect all disconnected electrical connectors for the following:
- corrosion - install new connector or terminal and clean the module pins
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- spread terminals - install new terminals as necessary
- Using a suitable mating terminal, check each connector terminal for deformed or enlarged contacts by comparing the mating terminal's fit between each of the following pins:
- C135-1
- C135-14
- Is connector free of terminal corrosion, pushed-out terminals and spread terminals?
Yes No Go to H3. REPAIR the affected terminal. Refer to OEM CONNECTOR REPAIR PROCEDURES (EXCEPT HYBRID) , for schematic and connector information.
- H3: CHECK PUMP MOTOR OPERATION
- H4: CHECK FOR FAULT REPEATABILITY
- Clear the ABS DTCs.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF.
- Test drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 20 km/h (12 mph).
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF.
- Carry out the ABS self-test.
- Is DTC C0020:71 or C1B02:71 present?
Yes No Go to H7. For all other C0020:xx and C1B02:xx DTCs, Go to H5.
For all other DTCs,
No fault found.
Go to the ABS - Antilock braking system .
If there are no DTCs present,
No fault found.
The concern causing the DTC is not present at this time. DISCONNECT and INSPECT the ABS module electrical connector. CLEAN or REPAIR the connector as necessary. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
- H5: CHECK THE PUMP MOTOR VOLTAGE SUPPLY TO THE ABS MODULE
- Ignition OFF.NOTE: VERIFY BJB fuse 87 (60A) is OK. If not OK, REFER to the OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS (EXCEPT HYBRID) to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
- Disconnect the ABS module electrical connector.
- Measure the voltage between:
(+) ABS Module (C135) Connector, Harness Side (-) Motor B+ - SBB87 (YELLOW/RED) - Pin 1 Ground - Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
Yes No Go to H6. REPAIR the circuit.
- Ignition OFF.
- H6: CHECK THE ABS MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect the battery negative cable. Refer to the General Procedure in CHARGING SYSTEM (BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES) (EXCEPT HYBRID) .
- Measure the resistance between:
(+) ABS Module (C135) Connector, Harness Side (-) GND - GD121 (BLACK/YELLOW) - Pin 14 Ground - Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes No Go to H7. REPAIR the circuit.
- H7: VERIFY ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS
- Ignition OFF.
- ABS Module connector disconnected. (C135)
- Using a good light source, inspect all disconnected electrical connectors for the following:
- corrosion - install new connector or terminal and clean the module pins.
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins.
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary.
- spread terminals - install new terminals as necessary.
- Are the connectors free of corrosion, damaged pins, bent pins, pushed-out pins and spread terminals?
Yes No Go to H8. REPAIR the connector or terminals. Refer to OEM CONNECTOR REPAIR PROCEDURES (EXCEPT HYBRID) , for schematic and connector information.
- H8: CHECK FOR CORRECT HCU OPERATION
- ABS Module connector connected. (C135) Make sure the connector seats and latches correctly.
- Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to the General Procedure in CHARGING SYSTEM (BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES) (EXCEPT HYBRID) .
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
Yes No INSTALL a new HCU.
CHECK OASIS for any 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 HCU. REFER to ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) AND STABILITY CONTROL (EXCEPT HYBRID) .
ORDER a replacement HCU and INCLUDE the RVC on the form.
If this is a Ford paid repair, INCLUDE the RVC on the warranty claim form.The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
