ISSUE
Some 2010 Fusion Hybrid and Milan Hybrid vehicles built on or before 10/17/2009 may experience electronic noise on the brake booster travel sensor.
Depending on the frequency and duration of the noise it may generate a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) C0048 in the brake module. This turns off the
brake by wire mode, defaulting to direct pedal activation of the brake system, including full vacuum brake assist, Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and
Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Once the default mode is activated, the brake telltale will illuminate and the message center will display the message
Check Brake System. The customer may report an extended pedal travel of approximately 1 3/16 of an inch (30 mm). The system will remain in default
mode throughout the key cycle. During the subsequent key cycle, if the system recognizes a properly operating Brake Booster Travel Sensor, brake by
wire functionality will return.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Replace the Brake Booster Travel Sensor.
2. Reprogram both the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the ABS module to the latest calibration using IDS release 63.09 and higher or 64.01
and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2009.9 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
