What if you install a used abs module, does anything change?

This stuff makes me mad. No reason your ABS needs to have ViN number to serve its function. Its sole function is to keep your brakes from locking up and keeping your car stable in the event of hard braking. Just seems like a Dealership money sync to me.

completely agree with you... just to get more money from the consumer. on a technical point though these modules are generic and they require to be programmed to the specific vehicle and since it works on SUV or a compact car the VIN is used to get the right software and the right data for example GVW speed ratings transmission type and so forth and so on... I am not a big fan of FORD myself but that is the way they do business so if you don't like it don't buy their products. I stay as far from Ford as possible unless I have to work on it since I am a Mechanic by trade. have a nice day!!!

Can you do a video on As Built Data, how to get it and how to load in the module you need the data for.......

I just did a transmission conversion on my 2016 Mustang GT from Manual to Automatic (don't ask why). I am having to reprogram just about EVERYTHING and this video was very helpful to me. Thanks for taking the time to create and share it!

Do you need to leave the old module in and turn the key to the one position first before putting the old module out, put the new one in and then plug the software in?

Is it compulsary to do programming after ABS pump replacement? Even replace with the used one?

Yes my friend!

I am working on a 2003 Lincoln LS V8. I have the ABS light on..Scan tool shows DTC in ABS as C1998 which is re-calibration of ABS. Is there a way that I can do this my self without taking it to a dealer or shop? All wheel sensors are working properly according to live data on scanner. I think this is due to dropping the steering assembly to the floor for a while when removing the dash for AC evap core replacement. I have an Autel MaxiCOM MK808 ..No bi-directional control, but does about everything else..thanks

Using an Autel MS908 Elite ,Trying to do the IVD calibration procedure correctly and so far it's not working on an 04 Expedition to address the C1998 Module calibration failure code and a flashing traction symbol. The Tool says to start engine and turn wheel from one stop to the other stop. It does not say in which direction (left or right) to initiate , turn slowly? Should I Hold wheel at each stop a couple seconds? Should I Return wheel back to center position after going from one stop to the other. The vehicle is on level ground with fully inflated tires though three of the four original TPMS sensors no longer work anymore. Do you know the more specific detailed Ford instructions for doing this procedure? Thanks Brian

I have a VCM but the biggest thing about it is that Ford requires you to have software running current on it in order to use the tool and if you don't do enough business to require it constantly it will cost you a whole lot of money. And is hard to get a return on your investment. Great tool though. And for requires you to buy it at a year at a time. So I thought I would put that in there.

Man you are awesome. However. Story short f. Explorer 2014. I changed ABS Put a new one I am no mechanic and didnt know it requires configuration. "Initial conf. Not completed" is message on scan tool. Very pissed at the moment because I live in Orlando FL and cannot find someone to do what you shows on the video. Even some dealers giving me Be because they did not installed it an some are saying it will be close to a 1000 to put one with guarantee. It sucks when you try to safe money and some places still wants to screw you over. The abs I installed is brand new original bought on line from ford itself. It sucks that they do not sell these type of parts with out loopholes even though you provide vin# which automatically should set product with right configuration. Is like when you installed a new mouse on your computer the system recognize the new hardware and CONFIGURE IT WITHOUT A FUSS. Sorry Man just wanted to vent. Again you are awesome I watch a lot of your videos. Wish you had a shop near my location.
