What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS BUILT WITH BENDIX AIR ABS WITH AN EC-17 1030R ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU), THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSED BY 1) CHAFED ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WIRES ON ROTATING PARTS OR 2) A DAMAGED COMPONENT AT THE WHEEL END THAT GENERATES A CERTAIN TYPE OF ERRATIC SENSOR SIGNAL.
What can happen
THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE ABS ECU TO EXHAUST THE AIR AT THE AIR BRAKE MODULATORS FOR ONE OR MORE OF THE WHEELS. THIS COULD RESULT IN EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCES AND A POSSIBLE CRASH.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ABS ECU. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 20, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.

Bulletins for the same vehicles and component
| 002311 | 2001-03-02. Service bulletin. THIS BULLETIN STATES THAT IF THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WIRES ARE NOT TIE STRAPPED CORRECTLY, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE WIRE TO CONTACT THE WHEEL AND / OR BRAKE DRUM. IF THE WIRE THEN BECOMES CHAFED, A FALSE SINGLE MAY BE SENT TO THE ABS ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER. THE CONTROLLER MAY THEN MISINTERPRET THESE SIGNALS AND FALSELY DETERMINE THAT THE WHEEL IS ROTATING AT A DIFFERENT SPEED THAN IT ACTUALLY IS. THIS MAY RESULT IN UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION. *TT |
