Clearing Trouble Codes

NOTE: Ford DOES NOT provide procedures other than those described to retrieve or clear trouble codes.

The last step of the System Pre-Check always includes clearing the keep-alive memory (KAM). To do this, simply turn OFF the ignition while the diagnostic connector halves are separated as described in the procedures for obtaining the diagnostic trouble code above, after which the diagnostic connector should be reassembled to provide KAM power to the anti-lock electronic control module. If at this time a new valid code has been obtained, go to the appropriate pinpoint test for that code.
