- 2010 Ford Fusion ABS Light and AdvanceTrac Warnings. ABS Module Gone Bad. We're going to replace it and reprogram. Please Like and Subscribe if you found this even remotely better than being hit by a bus. : )
There was portion of reprogramming skipped. Can you insert missing portion at end of clip? Also, can you identify re-programming tool and software used? Thank you.
Dealing with the same thing on my daughter's 2010 Fusion SE. I might have to go to a junk yard to find one.
On my 2010 Fusion SE 2.5, I used a torx bit T15 to remove the module. Use the thin screwdriver type T15, otherwise the socket for the bit is too thick and will make the bottom screw really hard to remove.
You dont need to drain the coolant or remove the hoses, just remove the expansion tank bolts and you can move it around enough to fit your hand under to disconnect the module.
I bought a used ABS module from the junkyard and used the PMI on my scan tool and it was really easy.
This was for the code B1342-20
What problems where you having that it was the module? The problem I have is when I press the break pedal it sinks and vibrates any idea if it’s the pump or just module? ( already bought the part )
@Angel-Breakfxst My brakes felt off for a few months. I could feel a light brake drag at the front end of my car. It wasn't vibrating too much, but I could feel and hear a low grinding noise. I also had to press the brake pedal further down. I did a brake job and brake fluid change, and this still happened for a few months. Luckily, my dashboard lit up just like in this video. I got a code, B1342. The Ford manual said for this code, replace the ABS module. I did and my car works fine now, no brake drag or nothing.
T-15 not screwdriver on 2012 fusion
@DwightOldhamIII-hs8bn yea, not sure why the video says screwdriver.
Hi Mike, where are you at?
I have this same exact car with the same exact problem or need. Ford and local Dealer, feeding me a line of you know what. Says my car wasn’t in the over 600k 2006 to 2020 recall batch of 2020..
Telling that part costs $900 to $1000. And could possibly cost me $1000 for installation 😳
I just watched you replace it in 15 minutes..
Problem is, I don’t have the scanning capability..
Could you suggest something for me.. please
Thank you,
Will
Try FORScan. I believe you can use the PMI on it to reprogram a new abs module. Just pull an ABS module from the junkyard.
Changed master cylinder and this module still have soft brakes. 2011 fusion. I believe it needs some dynamite....
The rear brake caliper is normally the culprit. Id do both if you see one leaking. I replaced one and 2 months later, other caliper leaked.
Sticking valves in the abs hydraulic module will give you soft brakes. Mine went away exercising the valves with the abs bleed procedure.
@@alexhall5058 can you bleed the abs without a scan tool?
@@seth37174 Partially, but the scan tool exercises the valves and helps to remove air. You can use Forscan on a laptop or I use the Autel AP200 around $80 that has all of the funtions
@@alexhall5058 thanks. My wife's 2011 fusion had an abs event and then soft brakes ever since. Guessing it's an issue with sticking valves that were recalled in 06-10 models. So, all you did was actuate abs and problem solved?
On my 2008 2.3 fusion ....I disable the abs system by pulling the fuses.....I pull like 4 fuses..... And it brakes super fine like old time vehicle....and it's give the vehicle some extra horse power....
Which fuses u pulled
@@royking4044 30 and 40 amp 5 and 10 amp ....on the 2008 related to abs pump abs valve feed anything that has abs to it....I upgraded to 2012 fusion So I pull number 10 and number 8 fuse which is a 40amp and 30 amp.... When u do this after awhile vehicle will have a sporty acceleration....
So just pull the fuses then do the brakes or just pull the fuses
@@calthomas8637 just the fuses u pull that has abs ...... After couple drive u feel the vehicle move as a feather for.....cvt once remove all abs fuse it automatically give a sporty acceleration....i own a lot of different vehicle so I know it works ....after this if race a stock car they can floor the pedal and u can hit your pedal nice and slow and u will sprint pass them.... It's give the vehicle smooth acceleration no delay in shifting either...
@@calthomas8637 what this actually do is giving full wheel spin equivalent at all time ....
Information is really good. Could you please let us know what type of OBD/USB cable you bought to connect laptop to OBD port? Also could you please provide the software for windows OS?
software is FORScan and the cable is ELM327 OBD2 USB Adapter
Hello Mike, Mike here I'm experiencing same problem. What scan tool or App are you using in the video?
forScan is what it looked like from the video
What fusion was you working on? I have the fusion sport with the 3.5. Can i use the same method you use?
my 2012 sel abs light and service advancetrak turned on on my way to work. car drove fine parked it and at the end of the day when i was going back home light had gone away on its own
did you ever figure this out? mine is doing the same thing
Man them clamps have caused me some real pains, stiches and the other day I had one stuck open and when I laid it in my hand it popped,and rung in my hand and that shirt hurt u no!
I have a 2011 sel awd fusion I just put 2 racks on it the first was used the second new but still went back to the same problem hard to steer please do you have any advise I put soo much money out already
Wait for it… wait for it..
More tools..
Wait for it…
Where did you order the part?
ELM327 OBD2 USB Adapter on amazon or ebay
I have this issue as well but I believe its the wheel sensors. My lights come on sometimes but stay off other times.
Did you figure it out? i have just the abs light and traction light with “service advancetrak” only sometimes. I just spent 2k on full front brakes and calipers and hoses on a 2012 and i really hope i don’t have to put more in.
@junglehannah2 it was the wheel speed sensors in my case. I had the advance track warning going off too. Since the warning lights on my car wouldn't always come on, I figured it was the sensors going bad. If the ABS light is triggered, it will also usually trigger the TCS and track warnings as well. Always check the sensors and brake fluid first before pumping big dollars into it. If you don't notice any changes in your braking system while driving, then it's usually the sensors and or low fluids.
I also have a 2012. What do you have?
@@drakecarter1780 I have a 2012 as well. I’ve noticed a slight slip on my brakes in the first couple minutes of driving, but it just got cold here (less than 30°F). Wondering if the cause of this would be cold weather on new calips/brakes? Or is that just crazy lol?
Also, i feel the tiny slip sometimes when the lights are off as well.
@junglehannah2 I've been having that issue too. Just got cold here as well and I've noticed that on mine too. Just the cold I'd imagine. Get your car checked for codes to find out since wheel speed sensor is acting up. All 4 wheels have them so it's best to start there. There is also a small chance that it could be the steering angle sensor but that's less common. Luckily, wheel sensors and the steering sensors are pretty cheap and dirt cheap if you can do the repair yourself.
However, if you get a code back about the ABS module going bad, that can be very expensive
I know you posted this a year ago - but what if the check brake light is not on and it’s just an intermittent “service amtrak” with abs light that comes on randomly?
Check your wheel speed sensors. The ABS warning lights can activate the other warning lights. If you don't notice any changes in your braking system, always check the wheel speed sensors first.
Good luck mine were rusted
What if u don’t have the scan total can u just disconnect battery?
no it must be done with abs scan tool
I have a 2010 3.0 SEL model. The dash is saying service powering steering and also service advancetrac. Steering is super hard to turn. Would I have to replace what you’re replacing??
On yours is steering unit bad. You need to replace the electric steering unit
Hey men what’s the name of your tools?
My 2011 ford fusion has the ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, and BRAKE light on. I tried replacing the caliber and when doing so I realized that after braking the caliber wouldn’t collapse, is this a similar problem you were having?
Might need to replace the rubber brake line that goes to the caliper. Really easy. Once they get old they get clogged up won't let the brake cylender go back in
Great video, but stop gasping and fidgeting.
When I start driving not even a few feet my service advancetrac will come on an make my steering hard but I have no ABS light I made a video if u have time to go see it
That's sounds like when my whole rack went out
What software?? What cable how we load this would you clarify please
software is FORScan and the cable is ELM327 OBD2 USB Adapter
Without the Forscan footage... pretty much useless.
For real that’s the only part I actually needed
Would this be related with the B1342 code?
Yes. Clear the codes first, diagnose any abs related codes first. If no other codes besides B1342, then replace the module as seen in this video. I'd check the wiring and connector first before buying a new/used abs module.
Hello guys I have same problem but mine the steering wheel stops working until the lights are gone then the steering wheel gets smooth again is it going to be fixed if replace the abs control system?
I've read on some forums a weak battery will cause what you're describing
Just bought the 2011 w/153k & have soft brakes on 1st push...😶😒😪
Asked for 2006
Can i just get one from a junk yard i have 2010 2.5 ford fusion
Yes, just use a PMI to copy your old module before you replace it. It's not necessary but will be way easier.
@@salaciouscrumb9443 what is a pmi?
@@salaciouscrumb9443could you explain how in detail please
@foxbodyt.v4364 First you would need a scan tool with the feature PMI (Programmable Module Installation). If you don't have a scan tool, you can use a laptop with a program called FORScan with an OBD2 cable. Plug in your scan tool or laptop to your car with the old module and begin the PMI, this basically copies your vin and other info. Remove the old ABS control module and replace with the new one. Finish the on screen prompts to finish the PMI, this puts your VIN and other info on your new ABS module. That's it. You will get a trouble code for wrong VIN at first because you plugged in a different module. Just clear it and you're all set.
Is it dangerous too drive until i get it fixed ? Mine just came on 2 days ago.
The light means nothing.....usually from a malfunction to disable the function it malfunction pull all abs fuse....and that will give u full traction control and full brake power..... Smoother acceleration bc both wheel will spin equivalent at all time and smooth transmission shift.....will take couple drive before computer relearn mode for the fuse pull but will worth it...
Thanks bro
Where do u locate the fuse
How do u get the light off
@@26bleeek place back the fuses.....

Check the power steering fluid level it's a ford so it leaks
