2005 Lincoln Aviator AWDFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

ABS Module Calibration

If a new ABS module is installed, it must be configured. The ABS module also needs to be calibrate whenever a component specific to the stability assist system is disconnected or a new component is installed. For additional information regarding the DTCs that require the calibration procedure, refer to the ABS CALIBRATION LISTΒ . If a DTC is logged for any component of the stability assist system, the DTC must be cleared before carrying out the calibration procedure. The need to calibrate the ABS module is also indicated by the active/fail lamp flashing. The lamp will flash after clearing the DTCs that are indicated on the ABS Calibration List. If a DTC is retrieved after calibration, refer to the ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEXΒ . If installing a new stability assist module, the calibration procedures, as well as the configuration procedure, must be carried out. For additional information regarding the module configuration and calibration, follow the diagnostic tool directions for the calibration procedure.

When carrying out the lateral or longitudinal accelerometer yaw or roll rate calibration using the diagnostic tool, the vehicle must be on a level surface, must not be moving, and the ignition switch must be in the RUN position. When carrying out the steering wheel rotation sensor calibration on the diagnostic tool, the ignition switch must be in the RUN position with the engine running and the steering wheel must be rotated back and forth from lock position to lock position.
