This article supersedes TSB 9-15-5 to update the IDS version.
ISSUE
Some 2009 Escape and Mariner vehicles (excludes Hybrid) may exhibit a slight vibration in the accelerator/brake pedal at 12 MPH (20 km/h) and/or 42
MPH (68 km/h) while the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module performs a self-test. The ABS module will initiate a one time self test at 12 MPH (20
km/h) and at approximately 42 MPH (68 km/h) for every key on cycle. A one time self test may also occur at 42 MPH (68 km/h) after an ABS event.
This is a normal characteristic of the vehicle and does not affect brake function. An updated ABS software reprogramming is now available to reduce
this slight vibration affect at approximately 42 MPH (68 km/h). It will not change the effect at 12 MPH (20 km/h).
ACTION
Reprogram the ABS module to the latest calibration using IDS release 62.10 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2009.7 DVD.
Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
