Escape 4WD V6-3.0L (2008)
CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) module can be damaged if exposed
to these charges.
NOTE: When installing a new ABS module/hydraulic control unit (HCU) assembly, it must be configured (either by download/upload or uploading
the as-built data method).
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with roll stability control (RSC), the ABS module is available separately from the HCU and should be serviced
separately. However, if the RSC equipped vehicle requires a new HCU, then the ABS module and the HCU must be installed as an assembly. Make
sure to use the most recently released service parts.
