This CAN communication diagnosis was supposed to be straight-forward, but the ANNOYING Mercury Mountaineer keeps moving the goal posts!
Let’s not lose our patience, and continue to FOLLOW THE DATA.
Will the extremely obnoxious dinger be FIXED once we repair the ABS CAN circuit?
Also, the junkyard ABS module was NOT PROGRAMMED correctly by the previous shop, so we have to use Ford “As-Built” data with the Launch scanner to input the correct calibration numbers.

How many curve balls can this Ford throw?

That was a fun one. Having the owner be part of the solution (instead of the problem) is wonderful.
I think after the first minute I would have done a dinger-ectomy on it.
Dang it,i have same 919xbt , didn't know it can program some modules
Its nice that you pass on the knowledge to the willing owners.
Hi Ivan
I thoroughly enjoy all your episodes, and am learning a lot! A question, would you recommend any books or online courses for someone that has a strong background in electronics, and understands the mechanics of a car, but it lost among all the electronic controls units, different CAN busses, CAN gateways, all kinds of different data standards etc. ?
Greetings from Spain.
The moral of the story is: Silence is Golden. 😀
Great systematic diag on a wiring issue. Your customers re lucky to have you. Hope they know that.
Brilliant diagnostic.
I'm glad the Owner got uit fixed I want to see more videos like this if he has anymore car issues like this one I want to see one where he can work with you again ivan I love this stuff keep them fords rolling Built ford tough and Service Smart. Ivan you always do a great job puts a smile on my face seeing this. good work Ivan. Ivan I have a story for you here we just had our honda Ridgeline 2017 serviced for a issue like harsh shifting and sometimes jerky driving no transmission issues just a faulty Engine computer software they updated the software and runs great have you heard of the engine Computer software causing this issue smooth as butter after they updated the engine Computer as well and better yet it was a recall for this issue too. saved us a lot of money. your thoughts on software corruption like this
Cool video! Especially the module configuration without the original one available.
When a problem drives you crazy, Ivan is your man to solve it!
I had that problem on the 'ol Marquis years ago. That ABS pump was about $400.00 and I replaced it myself. The ABS light would come on when the car went about 12 mph and would flash. It also works with the traction assist and in the owner's manual it says the hydraulic pump can overheat if you continually spin the rear tires. It has a thermal switch that is supposed to shut it down if it gets too hot. Great repair, Ivan! GREAT VIDEO!
Ivan, it’s great that you got the owner through to where he was able to replace the ABS module and finish the job!
My fix was tape on the dash ha ha the part needed was 2K the first replacement pump lasted three months (Ford dealership probably never changed it)
Ivan on your keyboard hold the Control key then press f you can type the code if its on that page it will highlight it for you so you do not have to scroll down as much
I think Forscan could have programmed it too.
6:00 “tail light warranty” LOL
I always give them a 20 -20 guarantee, 20 feet or 20 second , which ever comes first .
You should have been a rocket surgeon !
So that look like a CRP919XBT
Also, with age the connectors could wear and not hold things as tight, causing the problem and the movement with vibration.
You do great work Ivan.
Thanks Ivan!
U. Amaze. Me. Every time. Thanks
Nice work Ivan!!!!
Amazed to see that the Launch tool also has the exact same as-built programming Order of Operations glitch that the recent versions of Ford FJDS have had! It still works fine, it'll just spook you if you've done a lot of as-built programmings.
