Clearing Trouble Codes

NOTE: Ford DOES NOT provide procedures to retrieve or clear trouble codes without the New Generation Star (NGS) tester.

After the failures have been repaired and you have confirmed the vehicle functions properly, use the New Generation STAR (NGS) to clear all trouble codes.

The ABS electronic control unit will automatically clear codes that have not recurred after 80 ignition cycles, provided that the vehicle has reached 15 mph between each ignition cycle. (Simply switching the ignition off and on 80 times will not clear the codes).
