Removal
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with
eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with
running water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally,
drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
1. Disconnect the brake master cylinder fluid level switch.
2. Use a suitable suction device to drain the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478).
3. Carefully pry up on the brake master cylinder reservoir and remove.
Installation 1. NOTE: Whenever installing a new brake master cylinder reservoir, install new grommets.
Install the brake master cylinder reservoir. 1. Lubricate the two grommets with High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542- AB
or equivalent fluid meeting Ford specification ESA- M6C25-A and insert the grommets
into the brake master cylinder (2140).
2. Press the brake master cylinder reservoir into the grommets until it is fully seated.
3. Connect the brake master cylinder fluid level switch.
4. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ- 19542- AB or equivalent fluid meeting Ford specification ESA- M6C25-A.
5. Bleed the brake master cylinder. For additional information, refer to Section 206 - 00 .

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Brake Booster —
Hydro-Boost
Removal WARNING: The power brake booster should not be carried by the accumulator, nor
should it ever be dropped on the accumulator. Check the snap ring on the accumulator for
correct seating before the power brake booster is used. The accumulator contains high-
pressure nitrogen gas and can be dangerous if mishandled.
WARNING: If the accumulator is to be disposed of, it must not be exposed to excessive
heat. Before discarding the accumulator, drill a 1.6- mm (1/16-inch) diameter hole in the end of
the accumulator can to relieve the gas pressure. Always wear safety glasses when performing
this operation.
1. With the engine off, depress the brake pedal (2455) several times to discharge the accumulator.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301). For additional information, refer to Section 414 -
01 .
3. Disconnect the fluid level sensor connector.
4. Disconnect the brake tubes.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Anti-
Lock Control
The four wheel anti- lock brake system (4WABS) consists of the following components:
z anti- lock brake control module (2C346)
z front anti- lock brake sensor (2C205)
z front anti- lock brake sensor indicator (2C182)
z hydraulic control unit (2C286)
z rear anti- lock brake sensor (2C216)
z rear anti- lock brake sensor indicator (2C189)
z yellow anti- lock brake system (ABS) warning indicator

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Anti-
Lock Control
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 42 , Anti-
Lock Brake for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
The anti- lock brake control module receives wheel speed readings from each anti- lock brake sensor
and processes this information to determine if an ABS event is necessary. The anti- lock brake sensor
electrically senses each tooth of the anti- lock brake sensor indicators as it passes through the anti- lock
brake sensor's magnetic field.
The anti- lock brake control module continuously monitors and compares the rotational speed of each
wheel, and when it detects an impending wheel lock, modulates hydraulic brake pressure to the
appropriate brake caliper. This is accomplished by the anti- lock brake control module triggering the
hydraulic control unit (HCU) to open and close the appropriate solenoid valves. Once the affected
wheel returns to normal speed, the anti- lock brake control module returns the solenoid valves to their
normal position, and normal (base) braking resumes.
The anti- lock brake control module is self- monitoring. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN
position, the anti- lock brake control module will do a preliminary electrical check, and at approximately
12 km/h (8 mph) the pump motor is turned on for approximately one half- second. Any malfunction of
the ABS will cause the ABS to shut off and the yellow ABS warning indicator to illuminate, however,
normal power assisted braking remains.
The ABS control module has the ability to store multiple DTCs in memory.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the scan tool to the data link connector
(DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan
tool menu. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle: 1. Check that the program card is correctly installed.
2. Check the connections to the vehicle.
3. Check the ignition switch position.
4. If the scan tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the scan tool Manual.
5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the scan tool responds with: 1. CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Section 418-00.
2. NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for the anti- lock brake control module, Go To Pinpoint Test A .
3. SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self- test diagnostics for the anti-lock brake
control module.
6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Anti- Lock Brake Control Module
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Reference Chart to continue diagnostics.
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
Anti-Lock Brake Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index
NOTE: If a wheel speed signal fault or a pump motor fault is detected, the yellow ABS warning
indicator cannot be reset with the key OFF and key ON method. The vehicle must be driven over 12
km/h (8 mph) for the anti- lock brake control module to carry out a re- check of the system before the
yellow ABS warning indicator is turned OFF. Visual Inspection Chart Mechanical Electrical
