Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

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

1. The original error codes in the anti-lock brake control module from the assembly plant will erase automatically if everything is in working order and the vehicle is driven above 40 Km/h (25 mph).

NOTE: If pinpoint test steps continually lead to reverify symptom, go to Anti-Lock Quick Check Sheet. Pinout Values and Diagnostic Parameters

2. All DTCs must be output, all malfunctions corrected (anti-lock indicator off), and vehicle driven above 40 Km/h (25 mph) before the memory will clear.
3. The anti-lock brake control module will erase all stored DTCs if it counts 250 consecutive run cycles without recognizing a malfunction.

NOTE: Each time the engine is started, the anti-lock brake control module will count two run cycles.
