WHAT FORD DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW! ABS MODULE PROGRAMMING
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- In today's video we get called out to program a new ABS module in a 2009 Ford F150 V8 4.6 4x4 pickup truck. Luckily we can do this procedure without using a J2534 pass thru device or an expensive laptop. By using a relatively unknown function available in most professional level scan tools called PMI or Programmable Module Installation.

Had similar issue Ford wanted $1400.00 for parts and labor to replace the ABS module, sent it off myself to a company and for $145.00 they rebuilt it no programming needed. Works great.
Where did you send it to
Where did you send it to ?
Hey do you guys find water company it was
Still waiting for the company's info???
Where did you get it done at? Please share
MFckrs at an authorized Ford dealer service center recently quoted me upwards of $2,500 to replace the ABS for a 2012 Escape - the vehicle itself only cost me $4,500 and there's nothing wrong with it besides the ABS intermittently throwing B1342-20 for ECU internal fault. They didn't even bother putting the vehicle on a lift, had me waiting almost 2 hours despite me being early for the appoinment then billed me $215 for the diagnostic that actually took them less than 10 minutes while they were working on other vehicles ahead of mine. I could've used that money to buy a used module instead. Thanks for putting this information out there - you're a HERO.
Yeh, after getting quoted 1300 to fix an AC issue I fixed myself with a used $20 part, I refuse to go to dealerships anymore.
@@brjones27 update: oh, and turns out I didn't even need to replace ABS module at all. After I recently changed all tires on the vehicle to the same brand/thread the vehicle hasn't thrown an ABS warning code since. Apparently mismatched tires will cause ABS errors but of course Ford tech didn't bother to tell me that or they just didn't know...? Anyhow it's obvious they don't want people fixing older cars so they're forced to buy the new shit. Also related had a hot argument with someone who works at DOT stating it's illegal to do your own aftermarket LED headlamp upgrades (such as on a 2012 Escape) for older vehicles yet it's perfectly fine that every other new car has them now, etc. It's obvious the existing laws were lobbied in favor of the manufacturers.
@@businesscat2895 Interesting... my car JUST had this happen after putting on two new tires. ON the way home from the tire shop, in fact. Still stuck in limp mode right now. :/ Has AWD, and only replaced two tires. May be my issue too.
@@businesscat2895 Yeh, this govt is corrupt. Right to repair/replace/upgrade needs more attention.
@@brjones27 if it goes away after getting all matching tires then most likely that's exactly it.
Yeah, neat stuff. A few months ago I did an ABS module on a 2013 ford fiesta. My Autel MS906BT did the PMI, on a used module, with no issues whatsoever.
I've got a w013 cmax doing the same thing do you think the procedures are similar? Do you have videos ?
There were many times I tried to do that PMI test, but I would get a message indicating that couldn't be done. Ford does have an "As Built Data" function that worked with the IDS all the time. PCM, BCM, ABS, SRS, it didn't matter, they all worked. The early program had you look up data and manually input the info. Later updated program did all the work. Mostly I used it for ABS and PCM. You could also check for updates if they were there. I did a lot of ABS modules with "As Built Data." Good update and thanks for showing how it's done.
I, myself am presently buying a 2008 Ford Expedition 5.4L 4WD with R.S.C. function & active advanced traction control. My motivation: upgrading the ABS/RSC module; so when this suv would get stuck: It will not stall or BOG the engine down to get UNSTUCK! This here video is an extremely massive help! Before having My OEM module REBUILT; It had the trouble code B2900!!
Man you nailed this one, I got this tool
Hey man how much was the scan tool and how is it? Is it like the ford fds or the honda hds? Do you have to buy the difrentmanufactures software? Or is it included? Tell me more please sir
@@matthewsmith4599 Bought it from Amazon, One stop shop, If you need training how to, watch Advance Level Auto Videos. PMI Duplicator. I am not a mechanic, I help my buddy sometimes who has a shop.
Thanks boss. And everyone needs a friend like you.
Just a note when doing this on an abs module you must have the steering wheel centered with the wheels straight ahead as the steering angle sensor is "zeroed" when the module is programmed so if the wheels aren't straight the zero point of the steering angle sensor will be incorrect and there is no function that I could find at least on my scanner to re-zero the steering angle sensor.
I found this out the hard way on the first one I did, luckily I could go back and do the PMI function again and correct it.
Cool thank you for the heads up
A true saver, Thanks a lot.
Good information to know thanks for sharing
Thank you 👍
I have a bad abs module and an Autel maxi pro scanner…..so I hope this works out for me after the swap.
I hate going to ford for anything!
Thank you for the video!
Did it work?
We are replacing an abs module on a Fusion later this week. I’ll give it a try with our Autel Ultra, I’ve seen the PMI function on other Fords but haven’t had a need for it yet.
I have the same brand scanner it's pretty badass! I hope it'll work for this crown vic abs module.
Great info and video. perfect. short and spot on. Thanks
Thank you Eric. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.
I had an issue on my ABS module and replaced it with a used one. I used Forscan tool which is very cheap and the software is free (extended Lisence free for 2 months but renewable) . I had the Vin mismatch error U2023 and C1525 and C1524. Forscan (free version) could deal with all of them. The As-Built data is verrrrry easy, one simple click to download all parameters. But The ONLY way to clear the C1525 was using a pressure pump- 2.5 bars(37 psi) and use the Pressure bleed option available on Forscan
was the issue no communication from module, wondering if it can still be done.
A little thing called "first time fix", if there's a fault, they replace everything related to that fault, even if it's not faulty...... And it's all profit, because the manufacturers charge the suppliers for the cost of fault caused by their equipment.
Hi Eric. Greetings from Greece . Nice watching your videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Great video! I have the think diag that you used in the past and that thing is great too. These are important videos. They are short and sweet and convey a lot of good information in a small amount of time. Thank you.
Hi from dubai thanks you are great 👍. Please share more videos on programming
My only regret is not to find to Chanel earlier but thanks iam now and a will continue to learn from yo videos because here in Dubai technicians we gat a lot of such kind of issues and right now I have one car in workshop for the same issue and its Ford.
That was very informative!! That feature on that tool is really cool!!
Im you don't know how much you help me , thanks for this good work
I recently upgraded both me and my lady's vehicles I will be waiting for that review .
What?
Man bro. You beat me to the punch. Thinktool took me a while to get use to. Its really a nice tool for the price that I got it for.
Working on a 2011 FX4 with the 3.5 turbo... What a pain!
New caliper, new flex hose, but the new caliper drags. I SUSPECT the Abs module is restricting flow, but also have seen that a failed vacuum pump can cause this too (I have NO IDEA how) Just learning this system, but this makes little sense.
I’m experiencing this too however I have an 09 King Ranch. Module installed, the dash light finally gone but braking still mediocre at best…have you had the system bled at all?
tnx,,i just did this same thing with a used one,,and i was able to program the new used from the old one,,,,just follow what you did,,i guess they are programmable,,,,,
Awesome! I’m glad everything worked out!
This video came out at the perfect time. I have to replace the abs control module in my son's '06 Escape. I'm using a used unit and will be using the FORScan software to program it. Thanks!
Hey how did that job end up going for you? Any tips on reprogramming the used unit?
@@jamo7526 Getting the old one out & putting the new one (used one) in was a little time consuming. I used ForScan to change the "As Built" data (no programming needed), which I learned from watching Tool Hut USA's video: czcams.com/video/DVYtN2iKLOc/video.html
@@Zib187 when installing the new/refurbished module did you have any issues with air being in the lines? I’ve had my system bled twice manually at the tire shop due to brake pedal travel/not having strong bite. I then payed the dealership to perform electronic brake bleed via IDS ($270)….within a week the brakes have the soft peddle travel. As of late it feels like a caliper is sticking (like driving on ice, delayed acceleration/slower than normal from a stop. As I coast you can feel the truck slowing sooner..fuel mileage down.
Had new pads/rotors on the front and new pads for the back done a year ago by the dealer as well. I’m going to look into Forscan and see what all diagnostics and services can be performed 2009 F150. Should have done this along time ago but assumed the learning curve would be hard to navigate.
Great pod cast I really like watching and learning how you diagnose car issues
Geart way u teaching us thank for sharing with us .
Also I buy think tool pro I use on GMC many model when I connect vci to OBD port it's distarb the Can system on dash flash ABS and traction any many thinks
distrab when I take it out VCI everything get normal did u face this problem withis tool ?
Thank you for wearing the mask 😷 I feel better watching the video
Just had to do this last month on a 2011! ford f150. It had a cracked mother board in the abs module. Kept getting service advance track. It threw a code for just about everything. It had 39 codes. I new it was one problem causing everything when both exhaust cam/ crank shaft sensors & all 4 02 sensors were supposedly faulty at the same time. I was thinking no way all this is bad at the same time.
I have the same problem right now. What codes did you have?
Same here 09 F150 king ranch…module refurbished, installed, lights gone…shitty soft pedal still there. Bled and rebled…my wallet
@@dominicpatricio5408 Apologies for such a late response but the main code that was the problem was B1596
@@Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiitt yup the wallet takes a hit on that one
Thank's man. Really to the point.
nail it. best automobile youtube channel
I’m am one of your biggest fan!!!
Don’t use after market tool. I tried PMI many times with different tools but always a problem
Fjds does the job
I have the 2011 5.0l 4x4 would control module lock up the driver pads. I replaced both calibers all pad all way around and both front brake hoses. And the front driver side tire is still locked up. The passenger side is a lot more loose. I'm having issues
Good stuff bro. THANKS!!!
Am looking to expand my auto experience. Get video. I like and subscribe. Tired of getting dirty trying to learn more technical Knowledge. Going to check more out thank you.
hardest damn thing about this on a ford edge is plugging the old one back in while the new one is installed. it took me longer try to plug the old one in with the new one installed.
Can the ThinkDiag bluetooth phone scanner work for this? I can't buy a big pro scanner like that one. Do I have to have any kind of software subscription to do this job? I'm jus a dude trying to reprogram my own ABS module.
I just bought a launch professional 1231 2.0. I don't think it will reprogram the abs module I need to install on a 07 Grand Marquis.
That is one very clever feature
Why are you wearing a mask? And in a vehicle, by yourself... 😂
Things are sooo easy when you have the tools! wish there was a way to do this PMI process if you dont have a 700.00 scanner! ive heard it can be done with forscan trial software ,a laptop and an ELM scanner? i have those already but the defective abs module does not show options to program nor save its data , no abs asbuilt data shows... it has codes c1267 b1342
7:27 Whoa! what was that flying object????????!!!!!!! LOL! Great video. Thank you for showing how to program this module. Plus, if you didn't do the IVD, what would be the consequences?
Beautiful absolutely beautiful lol great video bro! Appreciate you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hay can you please put the part number for the scan tool you are using here because the Amazon like in the description is no good.
Thanks Eric
2009 ford brake and AB’s lights on does kick a code for the module , has power to everything can it just be reprogrammed instead of buying a $1000 module ?
Awesome Eric, great video thanks so much !!
Thank you very helpful video I need to do that on my truck
Very good mate thank you
Hey bro, ik it’s been 2 yrs since this video. But hoping you can help. I’m doing the same functions for the pmi, but instead of it configuring successfully, it says it can’t be done. And I bought cardones plug n play module
This is on a 2009 f-150 with the 5.2 4x4 platinum trim.
Any update
excelente video 👍 saludos desde el valle de texas
You are awesome, period!!
Thanks for sharing Bro, really valuable information here👍
Stay Safe👍
Do you know if the snap on verus edge is capable of this PMI I have a 2009 f-150 5.4 and am not finding this in my scanner options. Thanks for your input.
Thanks for this. What do you know about this message, when I want to install a new Abs Module ? " Abs module not" with Ford escape hybrid 2008.
Thank you very much
Anyone else notice the unusual number of issues similar to this that also have a corresponding TPMS issue, at the same time? I JUST had a tire place fix my TPMS issue on my car. On the way back from there, my car went into limp mode, for no apparent reason. No codes on my cheaper autel scan tool. Idk what to do. Tried resetting the tpms with a special tool. Made no difference. Car starts and drives fine, but power steering is out, and it says I have a problem with anything somewhat related to advancetrac, stability control, etc. out of the blue. When it worked absolutely fine before getting new tires.
Today i went through this procedure on the same car the only difference i installed second hand ABS module unfortunately it didn't work... (Module configuration failure) pops up on the scan tool.. Even though the programing succeeded..
Did you ever figure it out @ashrafalgadi7373
Replace the ABS module on a 2017 Ford P. Esta, because we thought it was bad. We replaced it with the used one that was good. And now the brake pedal won't come all the way up and the A. B s light is on
Excellent video. I’m wondering what the difference is between the ThinkTool Pro and the ThinkTool Pros.
is my thinkdiag the same as your pro scanner except i got the cell phone model ??
Yes. Pretty much!
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO Thank you
thanks so much hoping you do more programing videos just because i got a thinkdiag its really changed my shop
I have a 2020 Lincoln Navigator that was in a collision and the steering rack has a dent where the module goes and my scanner tells me lost communication. Do you know what I can buy to program another one if I install it ? Thanks
Not really a secret. We do PMI to install modules at the dealer. The advantage we have with the OEM scan tool is we don't have to have the original module.
And last resort and the most loved by ford techs programming a pcm using as built data , and honestly sometimes i still dream about FFFF and more random codes, only ford techs will understand.
Either of y’all mind sharing your approach/experiences regarding bleeding/servicing the system once a module is installed? Lights on dash are gone but the soft/spongy pedal, poor bite is still there.
Anything I should have done specifically? 2009 F150 king ranch…Thanks so much for any feedback.
Absolutely awesome video.....
Thanks
Hi, I want to know which one is suitable for my ford expedition 2010/XLT/EL..MINE IS AL14-2C219-DA..and. this model not available.. what is the other model fit for my car
I wander what would have happen if you just cleared all the faults on the old unit?
Excellent video as always!
Great video
Nice always learn something new
Saw the tpms light on in dash. In some vehicles I've notice daily codes related to one system can also be tied to another system... uhmmm.. cough cough... gf.. oops meant GM... 🤣😂😉
Great video thanks
Can anyone recommend a scanner with tis function? There are so many of them out there hard to know what one will have the PMI FUNCTION.
Did u ever get one with PMI
Morning I am here watching another of you very informative videos .I am from Barbados I have a 2007 three door Vitara and gettin GB some problems with it. The cluster works at start up and them stop working with the check light and ABS light on have you ever had this problem if so can you tell me what to do Thanking you.
Thanks again
I have a thinkscan tool it’s just the Sf100 but it has abs function but it says I have to purchase software? I can get into the abs module stuff but doesn’t show PMI function
Does anyone know if the module has no communication can the new one still be programmed using the tool, or is there another way to program?
Curious....will this work on a USED replacement module or only NEW/REMAN??
Works with used modules also
Hi Eric.....thanks for the video it looks very helpful I was wondering on that Scan tool how do I get to that particular page that you show on your video ? I just picked up the exact scan tool.... thank you for help.
What was the yellow light that was blinking? Awesome video thanks for sharing.
I got a 2010 Ford focus withe same code B1342-20 I get it scan at two different repair shop first one say the ABS Module need to be replaced cost $1400 second one say the ECU need to be replaced $1500 they both saying two different things what to do?
Excellent, thank you! ;)
Do you have to program the modual even if using a used one from a junkyard car? From the same year.
Yes
I’m working on a 2013 ford edge sel 3.5 I need to recode the abs module will this scanne tool work? If someone could help me with this information it wood really help me thank you.
Thank you
Do you know if you can perform a PMI on a used ABS module on a 2011?
Where can I find a scanner to do the ABS that unit is gone at Amazon.
Cool video
Very very helpful video thanks bro
Excellent Video
great info
I've done this with varying success. Seems to be hit and miss. Of course I'm using used modules. Possible my procedure is lacking. I will be more careful next time! Anyway using the "as built procedure has always worked in the end.
I wish the mechanic shop I took my car YO GET fix knows this piece of equipment (Danny’s boys Arlington TX
What happens when you don't have the old module?, recently bought the same style truck which has this abs lights problem, but I don't have the old, can you still program it ?
Most of the time abs lights are do to bad or dirty speed sensors hook up a abs reader first and if both the brake light and abs could be a simple low fluid or air in the lines
Second!
At least this time I got a notification, unlike the previous video.
So what happened to the THINKCAR THINKTOOL PRO Scan Tool, it is not listed.
Dam you are a awesome mechanic
Eric thank you 😊
Keep up the good work brother !
Hello sir, how do I get the type of Scan Tool you use ,I am a Ford technician I work on both Gasoline and Diesel, I reside in Nigeria
When installing a used ECU in 2000 Mitsubishi Montero sport it need to be program right
My local mechanic extracted the files from the old ABS module installed a new module and when he tried to download the files it says the file is corrupt. He then tried to manually load a file and it wouldn't work either. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.. Oh yeah we are working on a 2010 Expedition 2wd 5.4 liter. Please help.
