The images below show how Ford displays their ABS codes:

NOTE: Ford organizes and names its diagnostic architecture differently by explicitly separating testing into distinct phase:

  • Key On Engine Off (KOEO) and Key On Engine Running (KOER) tests, which are on-demand self-tests.
  • Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs), which come from an always-active background self-test that runs passively while the vehicle is driven or parked with the key on.

Step 5 - To return to your ABS codes, press the FF/DTC button

  • To return to your ABS codes after pressing any button, press the FF/DTC button to re-display your ABS codes.
